Using Patient-Reported Outcomes to Assess Healthcare Quality: Toward Better Measurement of Patient-Centered Care in Cardiovascular Disease
Key result
PROs emerge as key quality measures to improve patient-centered cardiovascular care and provider communication.
Why the study?
While commonly used in clinical trials, patient-reported outcomes could play a broader role in routine care, population health, and quantifying healthcare quality in cardiovascular diseases.
