TL;DR: Qualitative studies that investigated the experiences of healthcare professionals with using information from patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) to improve the quality of care found attitudes to the use of PROMs may be improved by engaging professionals in the planning stage of the intervention and by ensuring a high level of transparency around the rationale for data collection.

TL;DR: The effectiveness of PROMs feedback seems to be related to the function of the PROM, however, the evidence regarding the impact of PRoms feedback on patient outcomes is weak, and methodological issues with studies are frequent.

TL;DR: In multimorbid patients perceived as stable, GPs preferred to 'maintain the status quo' rather than rationalise medications, even in cases with significant polypharmacy.

TL;DR: Surgeons had mixed opinions on the value of peer benchmarked PROMs data, and policy makers and researchers need to increase professionals’ awareness of the numerous purposes and benefits of usingPROMs, challenge the current methods to measure performance using PRoms, and reduce the burden of data collection and information dissemination on routine practice.

TL;DR: Bariatric surgery results in a clinically significant improvement in urinary incontinence, however, this is not proportional to pre-operative BMI, weight loss, age, parity and mode of delivery.
