【 摘 要 】

Patient-reported outcome and experiencemeasures (PROMs and PREMs) fall intothree broad categories: condition-specificmeasures, which are applicable to patientswith specific conditions only; generic measures, which apply to all types of patient; andindividualised or person-specific measures(iPROMs), which let people identify issuesthat are most important to them.1 2 Thousands of condition-specific measures havebeen developed mainly for use in clinicaltrials; standardised generic measures arewidely used in evaluation, for quality improvement and for allocating resources betweendifferent groups. However, fewer individualised measures have been developed, althoughthere is increasing awareness of their value intailoring personalised care in domains suchas social prescribing. Individualised measures need to be used alongside generic orcondition-specific measures because everypatient has their own set of priorities andsome are much easier to resolve than others.
