糖心volg

When it comes to decision-making in healthcare, how much consideration should be given to patient voice?听Cardiology experts will get to the heart of the issue at the first 糖心volg Tuesdays lecture for 2023.

Health indicators, such as quality of life, are usually assessed solely by clinicians鈥攂ut this can lead to noncompliance, reports of dissatisfaction, and for marginalised groups it can even result in medical discrimination.

Similar challenges exist in clinical trials, where study participants rarely represent a true cross section of average patients. Clearly, accurate health assessments aren鈥檛 always easy.

The University of Adelaide is spotlighting two practices making a difference: data registries and Patient-Reported Outcome questionnaires (PROs).

According to cardiology researchers, cardiovascular registries are adding much-needed information to the evidence spectrum鈥攁nd PROs are empowering people with heart disease to tell their stories, be heard, and experience improved wellbeing.

With more reliable, ethical, and cost-effective healthcare within reach these tools will have a bigger role to play and further research is needed to measure their impact on care.
