Integrate the patient’s perspective into routine care
Lohfert Prize
The Lohfert Prize 2023 goes to the project “Charité PROM Rollout – Integration of the patient perspective into routine care” of the Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin under the leadership of the Charité Center for Patient-Centered Outcomes Research. With the help of so-called “Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) the health experience from the patient’s perspective will be recorded uniformly across the Charité. The goal: to sustainably improve the quality of treatment and quality of life. The jury awarded honorable mentions for three other projects.
The prize, worth 20,000 euros, is being awarded for the eleventh time. The patron is Dr. Regina Klakow-Franck, former chairwoman of the quality assurance subcommittee and impartial member of the G-BA. The award ceremony and presentation of the award-winning project will take place on September 19, 2023 as part of the Hamburg Health Economics Congress instead of.
Sustainable, usable for all patients and scalable for all areas
Dr. Andreas Tecklenburgspokesman for the independent jury, praises the project:
“The project impressively shows how the Charité, as a large company, values, systematically records and evaluates patients and their assessment of their illness. This puts the patient’s perspective and their view of the quality of treatment more at the forefront of care. This increases adherence and thus sustainability of the treatment. The project is also exemplary in terms of applicability: the PROMs at the Charité can be used for all patients and can be scaled to all areas thanks to integration into the clinic information system.”
The project: patient-centered across the board
The structured recording of health from the patient’s perspective is a central element of modern healthcare providers. The “Charité PROM Rollout” project aims to comprehensively record the self-reported health of all Charité patients in routine care. The regular recording of PROMs is intended not only to improve communication between medical staff and patients, but also to generally promote patient-oriented medical treatment at the Charité in order to provide better health care and higher quality of results and quality of life for patients to reach. The routine PROM survey is already carried out in the breast center of the Clinic for Gynecologythe facilities of the Spinal Centerin the Center for Musculoskeletal Surgeryin the Clinic for Urology and the Medical clinic with a focus on psychosomatics at the Charité implemented and currently being introduced in other clinics and departments.
