Cardiff and Vale University Health Board has embarked on an ambitious programme to introduce the collection of Electronic Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMS) as part of their approach to value-based healthcare, and have chosen to work with My Clinical Outcomes.

As well as integrating with local clinical systems and being made available to patients in both Welsh and English, the project makes use of nationally agreed data standards for PROMs and the forthcoming NHS Wales app, and aims to reach 50 clinical teams across the region within 3 years.

Professor Meriel Jenney, Executive Medical Director, said:

“This platform will help us improve the quality of care we can offer patients at an individual level while at the same time focusing and tailoring services to match their needs. We aim to reduce the burden on teams and realise these benefits across all of our services, knowing the evidence supports improved outcomes as part of Value In Health Care.”

Lead of the South Wales Neuroendocrine Cancer Service, Dr Mohid Khan, said:

“Collecting PROMs has been pivotal to the transformation of the South Wales Neuroendocrine Tumour Service in recent years in achieving international centre of excellence status. Optimising the efficiency of how we do this through the Health Board’s new digital platform is already showing to have remarkable, positive outcomes.”

Patients will be invited to use the platform as it becomes available for their speciality.
