Protocol for implementation of the 'AusPROM' recommendations for elective surgery patients: a mixed-methods cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Incorporating patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) into usual care in hospitals can improve safety and quality. Gaps exist in electronic PROM (ePROM) implementation recommendations, including for elective surgery. The aims are to: (1) understand barriers and enablers to ePROM implementation in hospitals and develop Australian ePROM implementation recommendations (AusPROM); (2) test the feasibility and acceptability of the Quality of Recovery 15 item short-form (QoR-15) PROM for elective surgery patients applying the AusPROM and (3) establish if the QoR-15 PROM has concurrent validity with the EQ-5D-5L.

Methods and analysis

Phase I will identify staff barriers and facilitators for the implementation of the AusPROM recommendations using a Delphi technique. Ph
