Patient-Reported Data for Practical Use in Clinical Practice
Why
The relevance of patient-reported data on health status (PROMs) and care experiences (PREMs) is well recognized for improving healthcare processes and practices, yet these data remain underused.
Our Goal
The Lori Initiative aims to train and provide tools to Canadian primary care teams to collect, analyze, and use PROMs and PREMs data, transforming them into meaningful knowledge that will improve the quality of healthcare services and the support organizational decisions.
For a primary care network more closely aligned with patients’ real needs.
