Patient-reported and patient experience outcome tools for palliative care in acute hospitals – What’s helpful? What are we missing?

Limited evidence was found on the use of electronic version of patient-reported outcome and patient reported experience measures in inpatient palliative care. There is a critical need to enhance understanding and routine implementation of more holistic patient-reported outcome measures in hospital-based specialist palliative care. Further research is needed to identify the most appropriate electronic version of holistic patient-reported outcome measures and patient-reported experience measures for use in these settings.
