Global scoping review of key domains of patient-reported experience of care measures across life stages and healthcare technical areas

PREMs, as an important component of QoC measurement, are increasing across several healthcare technical areas and life stages with commonalities and notable distinctions in measurement domains and tools. Evidence on PREMs largely comes from HICs. Evidence on critical, yet sometimes overlooked domains, highlights key QoC implementation gaps. The adaptation and utilisation of PREMs in programmes, especially in LMICs and under-represented technical areas, present opportunities to close the QoC disparities in those settings. Strategic, concerted efforts towards the harmonisation of PREMs tools across multiple life course stages and technical areas are critically needed in high-level quality improvement efforts.
