Use of patient-reported experience and outcome measures within the colorectal cancer care continuum: a scoping review
View abstract on PubMed
Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) in colorectal cancer (CRC) care are underdeveloped. Validated PREMs are needed to improve patient outcomes and benchmark care quality.
Area Of Science
- Oncology
- Health Services Research
- Patient Outcomes
Background
- Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are common in colorectal cancer (CRC) care.
- Patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) are less validated and underutilized in CRC.
- Understanding PREM deployment and impact is crucial for improving CRC care.
Purpose Of The Study
- To review the use of PREMs in colorectal cancer (CRC) care.
- To assess the reliability and gaps in current PREM utilization.
- To examine the association between PREMs and PROMs in CRC patients.
Main Methods
- Systematic search of four databases (PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus) from January 2011 to December 2023.
- Inclusion of observational or interventional studies using quantitative or mixed methods.
- Focus on studies involving CRC patients and at least one PREM.
Main Results
- 13 studies with 17,105 participants met eligibility criteria.
- PREM utilization was heterogeneous across the CRC care continuum, mainly in treatment/survivorship.
- Over half of studies (53.8%) explored the PREM-PROM relationship; better experience correlated with better outcomes.
Conclusions
- Develop validated, context-specific, and culturally localized CRC PREMs.
- Benchmark PREMs against PROMs and other relevant outcomes.
- Utilize validated PREMs to improve CRC care quality and patient outcomes.

When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
The Problem-Oriented Medical Record (POMR) revolutionized medical record-keeping by introducing a systematic approach focusing on the patient's problems rather than merely listing symptoms. Dr. Lawrence Weed's introduction of this method in the 1960s marked a significant advancement in medical documentation. The POMR framework consists of four key components: the database, problem list, plan of care, and progress notes.

Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:
Efficient Information Management: NCIS is designed to manage patient information efficiently, making it easily accessible to...
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...
