Benchmarking quality of care using patient reported outcome measure data for patients presenting with musculoskeletal conditions in primary care GP practices (2023)
Journal Article
Burgess, R., Lewis, M., & Hill, J. (2023). Benchmarking quality of care using patient reported outcome measure data for patients presenting with musculoskeletal conditions in primary care GP practices. Musculoskeletal Care, https://doi.org/10.1002/msc.1744

BACKGROUND: Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) evaluate health status from a patient perspective. They can be used to support care at a patient level but also collectively to review quality of care across care providers. Vast amounts of patien...
