Patient Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) in chronic heart failure

Abstract

Background: Patient Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) is an essential tool for assessing the quality of chronic disease management. The optimal method for delivering a PREMs survey however is unknown. This study reports two methods for assessing PREMs in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods: A bespoke online and postal survey delivered to community-based CHF patients in Scotland. Results: A total of 121 patients (73 postal and 48 online) completed the survey. The online cohort were younger, had less contact with a CHF nurse, were more likely to see a CHF doctor and seemed less satisfied with the quality of clinical services. The postal cohort returned fewer negative comments (20 [27.4%] vs 28 [58.3%]; p<0.0001). Several recurring themes were identified. Conclusions: There are differences in participation rates and responses between postal and online surveys; the accuracy of the feedback gathered using these methods is therefore difficult to determine. Clinicians should consider offering a range of options to enable patients to reflect and ‘voice’ their opinions regarding clinical services.
