The state of patient experience is growing stronger every day because the impact it has grown stronger. It remains a top priority and reinforces the point that the patient and their experience – the quality of their outcomes, the safety of their environment, the service they are provided – must be and should remain central to our healthcare conversation.
This is about the choice of where an organisation and its leadership sets its strategy and invests its resources.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][image_hover target=”_self” image=”1280″ hover_image=”432″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css=”.vc_custom_1510150752055{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]Patient experience is a key priority with the rollout of NDIS and new regulatory frameworks for aged and acute care.

Patient-Reported Outcome Measures
Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are questionnaires which patients complete. They ask for the patient’s assessment of how health services and interventions have, over time, affected their quality of life, daily functioning, symptom severity, and other dimensions of health which only patients can know. PROMs promise to fill a vital gap in our knowledge about outcomes and about whether healthcare interventions actually make a difference to people’s lives.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
