Summary
Patient experience is crucial for high-quality inflammatory arthritis care but is underassessed due to a lack of tools. This study introduces a novel patient-reported experience measure (PREM) tool for routine clinical use.
Area of Science:
- Rheumatology
- Health Services Research
- Patient-Reported Outcomes
Background:
- High-quality healthcare necessitates incorporating patients' perspectives.
- Patient experience is currently underassessed in inflammatory arthritis (IA) care.
- Existing challenges in adopting patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) in IA, unlike in cancer or COPD, stem from a lack of appropriate tools and methodologies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To address the gap in routine assessment of patient experience in inflammatory arthritis.
- To facilitate the translation of guidelines into clinical practice by fostering a therapeutic alliance.
- To introduce a novel tool for the routine clinical use of PREMs in inflammatory arthritis.
Main Methods:
- Discussion of guideline translation into clinical practice.
- Presentation of a novel tool for patient-reported experience measures (PREMs).
Main Results:
- The article outlines strategies for integrating patient feedback into routine care.
- A new tool designed for PREMs in inflammatory arthritis is presented.
Conclusions:
- Routine assessment of patient experience is essential for improving inflammatory arthritis care.
- The proposed novel PREMs tool aims to overcome current challenges and enhance clinical practice.
