21 hours ago Summary: The format of a patient case report encompasses the following five sections: an abstract, an introduction and objective that contain a literature review, a description of the case report, a discussion that includes a detailed explanation of the literature review, a summary of the case, and a conclusion. The abstract of a patient case report should succinctly include the four … >> Go To The Portal
Both the patient-reported experiences measures (PREMs) and patient and public involvement (PPI) initiative for including patients in the research processes are also outlined. PROs provide reports from patients about their own health, quality of life, or functional status associated with the health care or treatment they have received.

All nurses are interested in the effects of diseases and treatments on individuals. Patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures are used to obtain self-reported information about symptoms, function, perceptions, and experiences.
Patient report experiences through the use of PREMs, such as satisfaction scales, providing insight into the patients’ experience with their care or a health service. There is increasing international attention regarding the use of PREMS as a quality indicator of patient care and safety.

In contrast, disease-specific PROMs are designed to identify specific symptoms and their impact on the function of those specific conditions. Disease-specific PROMs have greater face validity and credibility than generic PROMs, but these comparisons cannot always be made across a variety of conditions.
The use of PROMs continues to expand beyond clinical research in recognition of its potential to transform health care, as well as improve quality and safety by placing the patients at the center of decision-making.
Indicators are a type of metric that identifies issues requiring further investigation (eg, increase in number of falls) (NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement/Public Health Observatories, 2007) and reflects how effectively an organization is performing on a set of metrics.
IRT is a probabilistic, mathematically based model used to describe the relationship between an individual’s response to questions about his or her health and an underlying variable measured by the instrument (eg, strength of attitude, intelligence).
