When it comes to decision-making in healthcare, how much consideration should be given to patient voice? Health indicators, including quality of life, are usually assessed solely by clinicians鈥攂ut this approach can lead to noncompliance, reports of dissatisfaction and even, for marginalised groups, medical discrimination.
Similar challenges exist in the clinical trials space, where study participants rarely represent real-world patients. Clearly, accurate health assessments aren鈥檛 always easy.
The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is spotlighting two practices making a difference: data registries and Patient-Reported Outcome questionnaires (PROs).
According to cardiology researchers, cardiovascular registries are adding much-needed notes to the evidence spectrum鈥攁nd PROs are empowering people with heart disease to tell their stories, be heard, and experience better wellbeing.
With more reliable, ethical, and cost-effective healthcare in reach, we need to encourage wider use of these tools鈥攁nd conduct further research to measure their impact on care.
Join the experts in getting to the heart of it.
