Patients are at the center of medical care. Their view of the treatment process is of central importance. After all, treatments should not only be effective and economical, but also satisfy patients in particular. However, there is no comprehensive and standardized procedure that evaluates the success of treatments in hospitals, rehabilitation clinics and medical practices from the patient's perspective.
The PROMoting Quality project uses the patient-centered survey instrument "Patient Reported Outcome Measures" (PROMs) to evaluate and improve the course of treatment when using hip or knee joint prostheses from the patient's perspective. Using an easy-to-use online solution, patients are continuously asked about their state of health before their operation and after discharge. On the one hand, this provides the treating specialist with regular feedback, allowing them to intervene at an early stage if necessary and improve the success of treatment in a targeted manner. On the other hand, patients also have the opportunity to have a positive influence on their (follow-up) treatment.
The recruitment phase of the research project was completed on December 31, 2020 and the evaluation phase on September 30, 2023. A large number of manuscripts have already been published (study protocol, methodology (1) / (2) / (3) , effectiveness studies or are in the publication process.
