OpenPROMS
Pilot project for the implementation of (PROMs) Patient Reported Outcome Measures in Switzerland
MIDATA, BFH, Inselspital and Brightfish have been entrusted by Eidgenössischen Qualitätskommision (EQK) with the national pilot project for the implementation of PROMs and are using the OpenPROMS solution of BFH, MIDATA and Brightfish. The solution enables the collection of standardized PROMs (patient-reported outcome measures) according to international standards. The solution includes a mobile and web-based application that allows
patients to complete PROMs questionnaires and discuss the evolution of their outcomes with healthcare professionals or from home. The pilot focuses on patients with severe cardiovascular or oncologic conditions. It will recruit 2,000 patients receiving acute and rehabilitative care over a 12-month period in hospitals in three language regions and follow them for 6 months.
The aim is to enable systematic recording and use of PROMs for quality development in healthcare in Switzerland.
