To support the capacity for different audiences to use patient-centred measurement tools and data, we have developed a suite of resources.
Details below.
The BCPCM resources provide information and guidance on:
- Using patient-centred measurement data
- Understanding how to interpret and use quantitative and qualitative data
- Interpreting results from provincially coordinated surveys conducted in BC since 2003
- Learning how to select and use instruments
- Understanding the difference between PREMs and PROMs
- Promoting collaboration and knowledge sharing about patient-centred measurement projects
Are you a researcher interested in PCM?
PCM data and researcher tools can be accessed through the Health Data Platform.
In addition to access to the PCM data, researchers will also be provided the following resource materials:
- Fact Sheets – brief and "at a glance" information on the background of the survey.
- Primers – short handouts that introduce fundamental research and method concepts relevant to patient-centred measurement.
- A Technical Report – provides a comprehensive report of the scope, design, methods, analyses, results, interpretations, and limitations of a survey; includes a copy of the full survey and codebook.
- A Toolkit – a complimentary source of information to the technical report.
