Role of Patient-Reported Experience Measures in Assessing and Improving Health Care Quality

Patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) are now a cornerstone of public reporting and pay-for-performance initiatives. In this seminar, we will review applications of PREMs in national initiatives and describe approaches for optimizing their validity, reliability, response rates, and representativeness.
