announce the following event:
Building on PROMs: putting health outcomes at the heart of NHS decision
making *
Wednesday 16 September 2009, 9.30am-4.15pm, London
* 'Early bird' rate of £140 + VAT available for limited period *
Why this conference?
The Secretary of State for Health, Andy Burnham, has said that 'the vision
for the future has to be that patients themselves become the pre-eminent
force holding the NHS to account'. Patient Reported Outcome Measures
(PROMs) are now being collected by the NHS in a world first for any health
system and they have the potential to place patients' views at the centre
of what the NHS does. Patients' own perceptions of their health and the
effectiveness of their care are crucial in measuring quality and can be
used to inform budget allocations, provide indicators of providers'
performance, inform patient choice, identify variations in clinical quality
within provider units, and potentially help balance demand between primary
and secondary care.
This conference, produced in partnership between the Office of Health
Economics and The King's Fund, will take a practical look at how health
professionals should be presenting and using PROMs data to improve the
quality of services in their trusts.
