The new Action Plan from Professor Sir Gregor Smith, Chief Medical Officer for Scotland, sets out 13 high level actions to support health and care professionals to practise Realistic Medicine and deliver better value care by focusing on outcomes that matter to people, optimising use of health and care resources, and contributing to a more sustainable health and care system.

One of these Actions is to explore digital capture and use of Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) and specific outcome measures to drive improvement and better value care.

More information and the ambition for routine PROMs in NHS Scotland can be found in the Action Plan.
