Content
I – Backgroundto the national PROMs programme
What are PROMs?
How does the national PROMs programme relate to wider NHS policy.
II – Variationin outcomes (nationally)
How PROMs data canbe usedto identify goodperformanceorareas forconcern.
III – So what?
How provider trusts caninvestigate theirPROMs data to improve outcomes.
Northumbria case study.
What are PROMs?
National data collections
Since 2009, patients undergoing
Hip Replacement,Knee
Replacement,VaricoseVeinand
GroinHernia surgery are asked
to participate
Objective
To measure and improve the
quality of treatment and
care patients receive,in
order to positively affect
outcomes forpatients.
Definition
Measures of the outcomes of
treatment,whichare based
upon asking patients to report
ontheir ownhealth
outcomes.
Scope
In2013/14: 139,774 patients
gave feedback ontheir health
state before andafter surgery.
255,000
Episodes
139,000
complete
answers
Participation
• 3/4 patients fill out a
questionnaire before surgery.
• Of these, 3/4 respondto the
post-operative questionnaire.
55% of patients
gave pre- and post-op
feedback in13/14
Non responders
Wider policy context
• NHS Outcomes Framework: 3.1
• NHS Mandate
• NHS Standard contract
• Five Year Forward View
• Personalised Health and Care 2020 : Using
Data and Technology to Transform
Outcomes for Patients and Citizens –
National Information Boardstrategy
• Best practice tariff
New developments in PROMs
• Cancers (breast, prostate,bowel, bladder,
non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, womb, ovary and
cervix): the pilot PROM reporton living with
and beyond bladder cancer will be published
shortly. Prostate Cancer UK are the first charity
to solely fund a UK-wide PROM project.
• Cardiovascular revascularisation:pilot data
collected, linkage with NICOR on-going and
then the analysis and final reportdue.
• Renal replacement: Being developed at the
UKRR; will look at the link between Patient
Activation Measures, Patient Experience and
PROMs.
• Major Trauma – Pilot sites already collecting
data – some investment from the Medical
Directorate
• Dementia: DEMQoL developmentthrough
National Institute for Health Research (NIHR)
• Long-term conditions: As for dementia,
development through NIHR.
PROMs pilots beyondthe national programme
• Publication on MyNHS and NHS Choices
• Upcoming “Insight Strategy Short Guide
to PROMs”
• Work with ISIS Outcomes at the
University of Oxford to support the
development of electronic PROMs

So What? Putting PROMs into practice
• PROMs is used in a variety of ways:
• Audit & Effectiveness Committees – local
• Quality Boards - local
• Best Practice Tariff
• Care Quality Commission “Intelligent Monitoring”
• “Beyond Compliance”
• “Getting It Right First Time”
• Examples from HSCIC benefitrealisation study:
• Enhanced recovery pathways implemented; PROMs used to evaluate success of
components
• Revised pain management regimes => earlier mobilisation; improved rehab ++ = better
outcomes
• Analysis of themes where people struggled post-operatively, and exercises included in
post-op appointments
• Better wound management protocols
• Altered mode of knee surgery treatment

• Evidence based practice - highlighted by PROMs/NJR project
• Showcase national PROMs agenda
DOES PRESERVATION OF THE
INFRAPATELLA FAT PAD IMPROVE
PROMS IN TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT
THE FATPAD IN TKR
 Removal of the infrapatella fat pad remains controversial
 blood supply to the patella tendon
 biomechanics of the knee
 inflammatory modulator
VS
 improved access
 visualisation
AIM AND METHODOLOGY
 To determine if the default removal of the infrapatella fat pad
affects patient outcome in TKR.
 Retrospective cohort study using PROMs database
 OKS and EQ5D pre-operatively and at 6 months.
 Correlated with consultant default practice of
 excising
 partially removing
 preserving the infrapatella fat pad.

 Patients report better outcomes if their surgeons default to
preserving the infrapatella fat pad
 Pain is reported difference
 In the absence of a randomised trial surgeons should consider fat
pad preservation

PROMS
• Show case PROMs agenda
• Local projects vs national projects
• Publication of trust PROMs and the possibility of performance based
remuneration makes self-evaluation of practice ever more important.
• Excellent opportunity for quality improvement

  • 21. DOES PRESERVATION OF THE INFRAPATELLA FAT PAD IMPROVE PROMS IN TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT
  • 22. THE FATPAD IN TKR  Removal of the infrapatella fat pad remains controversial  blood supply to the patella tendon  biomechanics of the knee  inflammatory modulator VS  improved access  visualisation
  • 23. AIM AND METHODOLOGY  To determine if the default removal of the infrapatella fat pad affects patient outcome in TKR.  Retrospective cohort study using PROMs database  OKS and EQ5D pre-operatively and at 6 months.  Correlated with consultant default practice of  excising  partially removing  preserving the infrapatella fat pad.

  • 27. STUDY CONCLUSION  Patients report better outcomes if their surgeons default to preserving the infrapatella fat pad  Pain is reported difference  In the absence of a randomised trial surgeons should consider fat pad preservation
