Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Patient-reported measures (PRMs) of outcomes and experienceS are an important aspect of providing high-quality primary healthcare (PHC). PRMs provide insight to healthcare professionals, practices, and primary health networks about patient experiences, needs, and expectations, as well as areas of importance to patients, in addition to highlighting areas of achievement and gaps.
This Special Issue of Healthcare seeks commentaries, original research, short reports, and reviews on the development, function, validation, and evaluation of PRMs in the context of healthcare. The aim is to inform health policies, strategies, and systems to empower the voice of patients.
Dr. Phyllis Lau
Guest Editor
