Since 2003, the BC Patient-Centred Measurement Working Group has led BC's strategy for patient-centred measurement, using survey instruments that give people who use BC's health care services the opportunity to assess the quality and safety of the health care system from their perspective. Patients’ self-reports of their experiences (and more recently, since 2016, their health related quality of life/health care outcomes) are solicited using Patient-Reported Experience Measures (PREMS) and Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMS).
On July 4, 2019, the results of the province-wide 2018 Emergency Department (ED) Survey will be available to researchers via Population Data BC to conduct secondary analysis in order to inform patient-oriented research. The ED Survey marks the first time that information from patient-reported experiences of care measures (PREMs) has been collected simultaneously with patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) related to an emergency department visit. This survey asked patients about their health-related quality of life and their experiences with the quality of the care and services received as a patient in one of 108 locations in BC where emergency care is provided (including emergency departments and D&T centres). Patients who received emergency care between January 1, 2018 and March 31, 2018 were eligible to receive a survey. The survey was completed by 14,076 patients.
Join us for this webinar to learn more about the Emergency Department Survey and how to request access to the data.
