Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) are important for assessing patients' health status, quality of life, and experience of healthcare. High quality PROMs and PREMs must demonstrate strong validity, reliability, responsiveness and interpretability to ensure meaningful use. This Special Issue invites papers that examine the psychometric properties of PROMs and PREMs in different clinical populations. We welcome studies that assess the level of evidence for these properties, as well as research on translation and cross-cultural adaptation efforts to ensure broader applicability and equity in health assessment.
We encourage original research, systematic reviews, and methodological studies that examine the role of PROMs and PREMs in clinical decision making, health policy, and the promotion of value-based care. Submissions that address a wide range of diseases, conditions, and healthcare settings—such as primary care, hospitals, home care, and telemedicine—are particularly welcome. Expanding the understanding and application of PROMs and PREMs in different contexts will be essential for improving patient-centered care and informing future healthcare strategies.
