A Swiss digital Delphi study on patient-reported outcomes

CONCLUSIONS: A Delphi method can help identify areas of need regarding PROMs in Switzerland. The current study identified a generic PROM as a missing quality indicator for the Swiss national health system's value. A pre-meeting informational briefing, expert presentations and moderation supported three voting rounds to help identify PROMIS-29 as a PROM framework (round 1), measurement domains (round 2) and items (round 3) as a basis for further validation research. The empirical agreement among diverse stakeholders supports broad consensus towards preliminary feasibility of integrating generic PROMs into the Swiss health system based on content relevance.PMID:37988458 | DOI:10.57187/smw.2023.40125
