Description

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) have been developed to measure a patient’s subjectively perceived health status in an objective manner. PROMs have generated wide stakeholder interest globally, and several countries have implemented PROMs into their health systems to different degrees. Our study offers an international comparison of PRO-data use and elaborates on what Germany can learn from other countries.

Patient-Centered Health Care

The primary objective of any health system is to improve the health of the individuals and populations they serve. Yet the German health system does not assess the impacts on health from the patients’ perspective. To facilitate a stronger focus on what really matters to the patient, we advocate for the integration of the patient perspective into care through the collection and application of patient-reported data.
