Abstract
Delivering high-quality surgical care requires knowing how best to define and measure quality in surgery. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) enable surgeons, health care systems, and payers to understand meaningful health outcomes from the patient's perspective and can be measured using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). As a result, there is much interest in using PROMs in routine surgical care, to guide quality improvement and to inform reimbursement pay structures. This chapter defines PROs and PROMs, differentiates PROMs from other quality measures such as patient-reported experience measures, describes PROMs in the context of routine clinical care, and provides an overview of interpreting PROM data. This chapter also describes how PROMs may be applied to quality improvement and value-based reimbursement in surgery.
期刊介绍:
Clinics in Colon and Rectal Surgery is a review journal that publishes topic-specific issues on diseases of the small bowel, colon, rectum, and anus.
Designed for clinicians, researchers, and educators involved with diseases of the intestinal tract, the journal covers a broad spectrum of basic information, controversial clinical issues, and established and innovative diagnostic techniques.
Issue topics comprehensively cover the entire specialty over a 3-4 year period, allowing the articles to serve as study material for educational programs and certifying examinations. The inclusion of research and clinical material also allows physicians to remain knowledgeable of current advances in the specialty.
