Program strategy and governance
The PRMs strategic framework
NSW Health has developed a strategic framework to help align existing PRM initiatives and platforms. The framework outlines the guiding principles within which PRMs operate:
- Patient-centred – PRMs and associated processes are patient-centric and give patients a greater say in their care
- Iterative co-design approach – PRMs are designed with input from patients, carers, clinicians, and decision makers
- Integrated – PRMs cover the whole patient journey across all care settings and are integrated to allow a holistic view
- Fit for purpose and meaningful – PRMs need to be valued and useful for diverse groups of patients, carers, clinicians, and decision makers
- Trusted and reputable – the tools are evidence-based, culturally appropriate and easily understood
- Consistency – the information collected and systems used allow for comparisons across dimensions of care (core functionality, symptoms and quality of life) and allow flexibility for tailoring to local needs
- Universal coverage – PRMs are universal, but have adequate variation to distinguish between cohorts
- Sustainability – ensure that PRMs support a sustainable health system that delivers effective and efficient care into the future
- Transparency – data are available in real time and accessible at multiple levels of the system
- Staged implementation approach – supports the incremental adoption of PRMs and ensures adequate change management and resourcing.
