Our Statewide Patient Reported Measures (PRMs) Program to commence in late October with select services across South Australia

The Statewide PRM Pro­gram stage 1 imple­men­ta­tion is com­menc­ing from late Octo­ber 2023 with in-scope ser­vices com­pris­ing those already col­lect­ing PRMs. It is an excit­ing time for these ser­vices, who will now be able to man­age and sched­ule their patient report­ed out­come mea­sures (PROMs) or patient report­ed expe­ri­ence mea­sures (PREMs) through the inno­v­a­tive dig­i­tal plat­form ZEDOC, and have access to their con­sumer and ser­vice lev­el data in real time. 

Imple­men­ta­tion of PRMs in clin­i­cal ser­vices will ensure that con­sumers and clin­i­cians have the infor­ma­tion they need to make the best deci­sions togeth­er, sup­port­ing ser­vices to pro­vide the care that con­sumers need and want. 

The ser­vices imple­ment­ing as part of stage 1 are:
