If patient-reported outcome measures are considered key health-care quality indicators, who is excluded from participation? - Health Expectations
Abstract
Patient-reported
outcome measures have received increasing attention with regard to
ensuring quality improvement across the health service. However, there
is a risk that people with disabilities and low literacy are
systematically excluded from the development of these measures as well
as their application in clinical practice. This editorial highlights
some of these risks and the potential consequences of exclusion for
these groups.
