Key result
Patient-centered anesthesia increasingly relies on value-based healthcare, PROMs, and PREMs as success markers.
Why the study?
Mortality and length of hospital stay are incomplete measures of perioperative success, prompting a shift toward patient-centred outcome and experience measures in anaesthesia.
This review highlights the shift towards patient-centered precision care, including PROMs and PREMs, as markers of perioperative success in anaesthesia.

Supports shift to VBHC, PROMs and PREMs in anaesthesia; leaves open validation of impact on outcomes.
Anaesthesia and surgery in the 21st century are the safest they have ever been, with over 300 million operations occurring worldwide every year. Mortality rates are consistently around 0.5-1% for elective non cardiac surgery; however, this commonly cited metric only describes part of the story. It is time for us to acknowledge, as many of our patients do, that mortality and length of hospital stay are useful but incomplete measures of perioperative success. Recently, there has been a shift in focus towards Value-Based HealthCare (VBHC), patient-centred outcome metrics (Patient-Reported Outcome Measures or PROMs) and Patient-Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) as markers of success. In this review, we examine the current state of patient-centred precision care (PC) with relevance to anaesthesia.

Clark et al. (2026) conducted a review in Perioperative care and anaesthesia. Patient-centred precision care was evaluated. Patient-centred precision care in anaesthesia is increasingly focused on Value-Based HealthCare, Patient-Reported Outcome Measures, and Patient-Reported Experience Measures as markers of success.
