CAHPS Research Meetings: Sept. 17: Virtual Research Meeting on “Patient-Reported Experience and Outcome Measures in Research and Clinical Practice”

CAHPS Research Meetings: AHRQ occasionally hosts research meetings that bring together researchers, subject matter experts and key stakeholders to focus on specific topics of interest related to CAHPS surveys. On September 17, AHRQ’s Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (CAHPS®) program will host a free virtual research meeting to explore the differences between patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), how they are connected, and how they can be used to measure and improve the quality and value of healthcare. The CAHPS Research Meeting will share current research on the following questions: What are the differences between PREMs and PROMs? How are PREMs and PROMs interconnected? How can PREMs and PROMs best be used to improve quality and promote value-based healthcare? What are future directions for PREMs and PROMs research and use in clinical practice? Eugene Nelson, Sc.D., Professor of Community and Family Medicine at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, will present the keynote address on “How Patient Experience and Patient-Reported Outcome Measures Are Interconnected.”
