Course description
Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are measures of how patients perceive their health and illness after, for example, treatment or other interventions. PREM stands for 'Patient Reported Experience Measures' and measures patients' experience of and satisfaction with healthcare. PROMs and PREMs are used to measure outcomes from the patient's perspective, increase patient participation, and improve care by considering patients' views and experiences. Through lectures, seminars, individual presentations, and feedback, the course aims to provide PhD students with knowledge about PROMs and PREMs, how instruments are developed and used, and how they can apply questions about subjective patient experiences in their thesis work.
