Routine use of patient reported outcome measures has the potential to help transform healthcare. Not only can it help patients and clinicians make better decisions, but they can also enable comparisons of providers’ performances to stimulate improvements in services – Black, N (2013) Patient reported outcome measures could help transform healthcare.

Commission your contractors with the right tools to improve their efficiency while you get an overview of where services are being utilised and how effective it is.

As a PHN you want to independently measure areas of need, treatment effectiveness, patient satisfaction and service level quality across all your contractors. Patient reported outcomes is the first step towards that goal.

Having access to de-identified outcomes data helps you identify areas of need and commission future services. As Australia is transitioning toward value-based reimbursement, better engage with your community and measure what really matters, the voice of the patient.
