A social return on investment analysis of patient-reported outcome measures in value-based healthcare.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

There is growing interest in the use of Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) to improve patient and healthcare service outcomes. This study aimed to measure the social and economic value of PROMs implemented within a VBHC framework.

Methods

Results

The SROI analysis revealed substantial variation in the value derived from the PROMs intervention across different services. The highest value was observed in Heart Failure with an SROI ratio of 5.55:1, which represents a substantial return on investment for patients and services. In contrast, the Parkinson's
