This study conducted a national audit to assess the variability in patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) practice in orthopaedic surgery in the United Kingdom. The integration of PROMs within best practice tariff platforms positively influences the frequency and standardization of collection, but outside of these initiatives, PROMs collection is infrequent and highly varied.
Introduction All national orthopaedic societies advocate the use of patient reported outcome measures (PROMs), but clear guidance on their use is limited. We utilised a collaborative methodology to perform a national audit aiming to assess the perceived variability in PROMs practice in orthopaedic surgery in the United Kingdom. Methods A multicentre collaborative audit of practice was performed extracting PROMs data on 21 commonly performed orthopaedic procedures. For each procedure, data were collected for frequency of PROM collection, type of PROM chosen, administration intervals, method and reason for collection. Compliance with national society recommendations was undertaken. Results Sixty-three trusts enrolled to participate in the study with a completion rate of 60% (38 trusts). The most frequently reported PROMs were those associated with best practice tariffs (83.3% and 80.6% for hip and knee replacements, respectively). Outside incentivised programmes we observed a higher rate of variation in PROMs practice which failed to meet our audit standard. Across all procedures evaluated, 69% (221/318) of respondents to the study used paper as the primary method of PROM collection. Conclusions This is the first national audit of PROMs collection in orthopaedics. The integration of PROMs within best practice tariff platforms positively influences the frequency and standardisation of collection. Outside this initiative, PROMS collection is infrequent and highly varied despite the presence of several registries. Because PROMs collection is a recommendation across all procedures using implantable devices, the success of this will depend on the adequacy of funding, resource delivery and the presence of clearer recommendations.
