4. Effectiveness
4.1 Patient reported Outcomes (PROMS)
Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are a means of collecting information on the
effectiveness of care delivered to NHS patients as perceived by the patients themselves.
PROMs is a Department of Health led programme supported by a number of key partner
organisations, including The NHS Information Centre for health and social care. Eligible
procedures are hip and knee replacement, inguinal hernia repair, varicose vein surgery for NHS
patients who consent to participate and complete questionnaires. BMI Harbour Hospital has
participated in the PROMS programme but has not carried out any hip or knee replacements,
varicose vein surgery for NHS patients.
For the current reporting period, the tables below demonstrate that the health gain between
Questionnaire 1 (pre-operative) and Questionnaire 2 (post–operative) for patients undergoing
Inguinal hernia repair is better than the average for England.
