Summary

currently, PROMs and PREMs are not routinely collected and compared among medical inpatients of Swiss university hospitals, nor is a standard set of PROMs and PREMs available for use in Swiss hospitals. The project aims to examine trends in patient-reported outcomes (PROMs), including symptoms, quality of life, and distress, in multimorbid hospitalized patients from admission to 30 days post-discharge. It will also investigate whether PROMs at discharge are linked to the risk of readmission or emergency visits and explore how these outcomes differ in patients who receive low-value care. Additionally, the project will assess the relationship between patient-reported experiences (PREMs) and the provision of low-value care during the hospital stay.
