Hello everyone and welcome back to giving health a voice where we delve deep into the critical public health issues.

Today, we'll dive into a brand new initiative by the OECD.

For decades, our assessment of health services has been guided by arbitrary outcomes without patients' input.

But now, the Paris Survey, the OECD's Patient Reportive Indicator Service,

offer a framework for countries to work together on developing, standardizing,

and implementing a new set of indicators measuring the outcomes and experiences of

healthcare that matter most to people, thereby filling a critical information gap in primary

care.

Before introducing our guests for the day, maybe best to start by outlining the focus of

the surveys and thereby sort out the abbreviations

prems and prompts that sit at the core of the surveys and that we'll be hearing a lot about.

Prems or patients reported experience measures measure how patients experience health care and

refers to practical aspects of care, such as accessibility,

care coordination and provider patient communication.

Proms, or patients reported outcome measures, provide information on how patients assess the results of the care they receive.

Proms contain information about outcomes such as quality of life, how patients assess the results of the care they receive.

Proms contain information about outcomes such as quality of life,

physical functioning and psychological well-being.

Now that we know what we are talking about,

let's reveal who we are talking with.

We are grateful to be joined by Michael Fandenberg and Chandan Kandir from the OECD-Faris survey team.

They will guide us through what the survey is and how the results will change the way we assess our health systems by putting patients at the center.
