Book excerpt: The aims of this report are to review the evidence of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for people with heart failure and to provide recommendations to the Department of Health of PROMs for heart failure that could potentially be used on a large scale population basis, combining good measurement properties with the likelihood of modest burden to respondents in order not to jeopardise response rates. A literature review of relevant PROMs resulted in the identification of a short-list of both generic and heart failure-specific instruments which were then presented to a multidisciplinary panel for discussion. The literature review of the evidence-base and the discussions of the multi-disciplinary panel underpin final recommendations to the Department of Health.
