Research project: Analysis of free text responses from the Department of Health’s 2013 survey of colorectal cancer Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs)
The measurement of outcomes, improving patient experience, and enhancing quality of life for people with a long term condition (LTC) is a Department of Health priority. This study will analyse the text comments provided by respondents to an open-ended question at the end of the Department of Health's patient reported outcomes measures (PROMs) 2013 survey with cancer colorectal cancer patients, who are between 1 and 5 years after completion of treatment. This work builds upon previous analyses by the research team of the initial PROMs survey (2011), established as part of the National Cancer Survivorship Initiative (NCSI) to evaluate patients' experiences of cancer care in England.
