The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Patient-Reported Indicator Surveys (PaRIS) initiative aims to support countries in improving care for people living with chronic conditions by collecting information on how people experience the quality and performance of primary and (generalist) ambulatory care services through the use of Patient Reported Outcomes (PROMs) and Patient Reported Experience Measures (PREMs).
The presentation will be delivered by Prof. Jose Valderas, Professor of Medicine and Director of the Centre for Research in Health Systems Performance at the National University of Singapore. Prof. Valderas will share his first-hand experience of leading the efforts for the development of the PaRIS Survey framework and the Patient Questionnaire. He will also give an overview of the aims, principles, instrumentation, and preliminary results of the initiative.
