RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Towards an understanding of PREMS and PROMS in COPD JF Breathe JO breathe FD European Respiratory Society SP 358 OP 364 DO 10.1183/20734735.006813 VO 9 IS 5 A1 Matthew Hodson A1 Sharon Andrew A1 C. Michael Roberts YR 2013 UL http://breathe.ersjournals.com/content/9/5/358.abstract AB Summary Evaluation of healthcare is evolving, with the patient perspective increasingly sought to provide a more patient centred service. Self-report questionnaires are being used to gather information about patients' health-related quality of life; outcomes with, and experience of a treatment, and perceptions of the care delivered by the healthcare team. Patient satisfaction measures may be familiar to clinicians and researchers, as they are used routinely in many clinical settings. Patient satisfaction measures have a ceiling effect, masking the negative healthcare experience. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) are measures that that provide a patient-centric view of healthcare. In this article, we aim to untangle for the reviewer, the distinctions between patient satisfaction, PROMs and PREMs measures with a focus on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and introduce work in progress around the development of a new PREM for COPD.
