Background
Understanding patient experience and self-reported outcomes is important in providing high-quality
healthcare. Patient-reported measures (PRMs) provide insight to healthcare professionals, healthcare
services and primary health networks about patient needs and expectations, as well as highlight
gaps for quality improvement. However, many PRMs used in primary healthcare (PHC) are not readily
accessible and the quality of PRMs is largely unknown.
Aim
As part of a wider project, Quality Equity and Systems Transformation in Primary Health Care (QUEST
PHC), this subproject aimed to assess the quality of current PRMs used in PHC and develop an online
compendium to provide information about their purpose, quality and accessibility.
Methods
A systematic review of PRMs used in PHC in Australia and overseas within the past 10 years was
conducted in 2021. Each PRM was assessed by two reviewers with clinical experience for relevance
to Australian PHC. Ninety-two PRMs were included for critical appraisal. Development and validation
papers were sourced and each PRM was assessed for quality of development, content validity and
validation based on a modified COSMIN framework. The compendium was translated onto a webpage
and piloted by the QUEST PHC research team and steering committee.
Results
Quality of the development and validation of PRMs currently used in PHC are variable. The
compendium consists of a description of each PRM, critical appraisals of its quality, a repository of
the PRMs freely available and the web links of PRMs that require permission for access. Feedback
suggests that online compendium was accessible, easy to use and will assist clinicians to select
appropriate PRMs for use.
Implications
This compendium adds to the knowledge base of PRMs used in PHC. It has the potential to inform
healthcare professionals’ choice of PRMs to use, increase access to PRMs and enhance patient
experience and outcomes through quality improvement.
