Background: Many governments have programmes collecting and reporting patient experience data, captured through Patient Reported Experience Measures (PREMs). Our study aims to capture and describe all the ways in which PREM data are used within healthcare systems, and explore the impacts of using PREMs at one level (e.g.

Background: Typical measures of maternity performance remain focused on the technical elements of birth, especially pathological elements, with insufficient measurement of nontechnical measures and those collected pre- and postpartum. New technologies allow for patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) to be collected from large samples at multiple time points, which can be considered alongside existing administrative sources; however, such models are not widely implemented or evaluated. Since 2018, a longitudinal, personalized, and integrated user-reported data collection process for the maternal care pathway has been used in Tuscany, Italy.

Background: Public web-based COVID-19 dashboards are in use worldwide to communicate pandemic-related information. Actionability of dashboards, as a predictor of their potential use for data-driven decision-making, was assessed in a global study during the early stages of the pandemic. It revealed a widespread lack of features needed to support actionability.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates medication adherence to chronic polytherapy following myocardial infarction (MI) and examines the impact of hospital discharge and community-based providers on adherence rates in Italy.
  • It analyzed data from nearly 33,000 patients hospitalized with MI between 2010 and 2014, finding that approximately 63% in Lazio and 59% in Tuscany adhered to prescribed medications.
  • Key factors impacting adherence included age and gender, with higher adherence seen in patients discharged from cardiology wards and those who received a percutaneous coronary intervention.

Background: Patient Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) are recognized as an important indicator of high quality care and person-centeredness. PREMs are increasingly adopted for paediatric care, but there is little published evidence on how to administer, collect, and report paediatric PREMs at scale.

Methods: This paper describes the development of a PREMs questionnaire and administration system for the Meyer Children's University Hospital in Florence (Meyer) and the Children's Clinical University Hospital in Riga (CCUH).

Introduction: Monitoring how patients feel and what they experience during the care process gives health professionals data to improve the quality of care, and gives health systems information to better design and implement care pathways. To gain new insights about specific gaps and/or strengths in breast cancer care, we measure patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and patient-reported experiences (PREs) for women receiving immediate breast reconstruction (iBR).

Methods And Analysis: Prospective, multicentre, cohort study with continuous and systematic web-based data collection from women diagnosed with breast cancer, who have an indication for iBR after mastectomy treated at any Breast Unit (BU) in Tuscany Region (Italy).

A prevailing feature of recent healthcare delivery and reform initiatives is a focus on increasing the value provided by investment in services, alongside a more nuanced understanding of how such value should be considered. Effective measurement of this value remains an elusive goal for most health system performance assessment (HSPA) systems. A more prominent role for the patient voice can enable a better understanding of value at both patient and population levels.
