AbstractThe routine use of patient reported outcome measurements (PROMs) can support the orientation of healthcare systems towards the value and usefulness for patients. The collation of patient reported experience measurements (PREMs) is suitable for bringing transparency to the patient orientation of healthcare processes and the experience gained. Both PREM and PROM will become an integral component of the assessment of medical quality in Germany when the guidelines for data-supported quality assurance across institutions (DeQS-RL) come into force. By means of newly developed patient surveys per medical service area, they will be used as additional sources for the legally binding quality assurance. Although this gives more weight to the evaluation of the quality of treatment by patients, special features must be taken into account in the development and implementation for orthopedics and trauma surgery in order to avoid misinterpretation of the results and subsequent misguidance in the healthcare system.
