OpenPROMS
The Federal Quality Commission (FQC) of the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) announced the funding of one or more pilot projects promoting the cross-sectoral use of PROMs sets as an integrated part of the care. Patients suffering from widespread medical conditions showing a heavy burden of disease and leading to a high cost of care e.g. chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are targeted in priority. As identified by the national strategy for cardiovascular diseases, stroke, and diabetes from 2017 to 2024, cardiovascular diseases require a high level of attention in terms of prevention, quality of care (including rehabilitation and aftercare), and patient involvement. To this end, internationally validated PROMs questionnaires will serve to monitor the quality of care through progresses in multidimensional aspects of patients’ health status as they perceive it, while fostering communication between patients and professionals. The medium-term goal of the FQC is to implement a systematic collection and use of PROMs for data-based, cross-sectoral, national, and local quality development in consultation with patients in Switzerland.
