Objective: This systematic literature review aimed to identify factors that influence the implementation of electronic patient-reported outcome measures (ePROMs) and patient-reported experience measures (ePREMs) in healthcare settings.
Introduction: Improvements in health care through increased patient engagement have gained traction in recent years. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) are tools used to improve the quality of care from the patient perspective. The influence of implementing PROMs and PREMs using electronic information systems (ePROMs and ePREMs) is not well understood.
Inclusion Criteria: Studies with information related to the implementation of ePROMs and/or ePREMs with a focus on health-related services, irrespective of provider type, were included.
Methods: A literature search of peer-reviewed databases was conducted on the 24th of January 2022 for articles about barriers and facilitators of the implementation of ePROMs/ePREMs in healthcare settings. Two reviewers independently extracted relevant findings from the included studies and performed a descriptive code-based synthesis before collaboratively creating a final consensus set of code categories, which were then mapped to the consolidated framework of implementation research (CFIR). Study quality was appraised using a mixed-methods appraisal tool (MMAT).
Results: 24 studies were eligible for inclusion in the screening of 626 nonduplicate studies. Quality assessment using the MMAT revealed that 20/24 studies met at least 60% of the MMAT criteria. Ninety-six code categories were identified and mapped to the constructs across all CFIR domains.
Conclusion: To guide the effective implementation of ePROMs/ePREMs in healthcare settings, factors shown to influence their implementation have been summarised as an implementation checklist for adoption and use by clinicians, organisations, and policymakers.

Importance: Timely access to care is a key metric for health care systems and is particularly important in conditions that acutely worsen with delays in care, including surgical emergencies. However, the association between travel time to emergency care and risk for complex presentation is poorly understood.
Objective: To evaluate the impact of travel time on disease complexity at presentation among people with emergency general surgery conditions and to evaluate whether travel time was associated with clinical outcomes and measures of increased health resource utilization.

Background: Ruptures of the distal biceps tendon (DBT) can affect the range of motion and strength of the elbow, raising concerns for patients seeking to restore normal function and engage in their regular activities, particularly returning to previous levels of sport participation.
Purpose: To characterize and assess the rate and timing of return to sport (RTS) after DBT repair.
Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4.

Introduction: Prescribable digital health applications (DiGAs) present scalable solutions to improve patient self-management in rheumatology, however real-world evidence is scarce. Therefore, we aimed to assess the effectiveness, usage, and usability of DiGAs prescribed by rheumatologists, as well as patient satisfaction.
Methods: The DiGAReal registry includes adult patients with rheumatic conditions who received a DiGA prescription.

Background: Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Fatigue Short-Form (PROMIS-F-SF) is a self-administered, patient reported outcome (PRO) designed to assess fatigue in healthy and clinical populations and for tracking progress during treatment for disorders complicated with fatigue.
Methods: Patients in the Mental Health Service Outpatient Clinics and healthy volunteers were invited to complete a survey, which included the Danish translation of the PROMIS-F-SF, the Chalder Fatigue Scale (CFS-11), and measures of depression and anxiety. We conducted a confirmatory factor analysis of the previously suggested single-factor structure of the instrument.

Background: The goal of cytoreductive surgery for peritoneal malignancy is to remove all macroscopic disease, which occasionally requires the excision of the umbilicus. While the absence of the umbilicus can be aesthetically undesirable for patients, umbilical reconstruction is rarely performed due to the perceived complexity and increased risk of wound infections (Sakata et al. in Colorectal Dis 23:1153-1157, 2021).
