Frail chronic patients consume the largest share of resources in advanced healthcare systems, with more hospitals waiting to receive them in the acute phase (awaiting paradigm) than there are effective public health interventions to keep them out of hospitals as much as possible. Effective chronic care management (CCM) requires organizational research as much as biomedical research (and, in some cases, perhaps more). Otherwise, excellent clinical care is wasted by poor coordination among professionals and institutions, with frail patients and their families paying the most expensive price. Comprehensive health technology assessment (HTA) procedures include organizational, social, and ethical dimensions to precisely capture the environmental factors that make medical interventions effective, accessible, and sustainable. Clinical outcomes and financial data are used extensively to evaluate care pathways from the providers’ perspective, but much remains to be done to capture equally important indicators from the perspective of patients and society. The authors hypothesize that the ordinary use of patient-reported experience measurement (PREMs) in HTA can help reduce gaps and inequalities by identifying frail patients on time, curbing the risks of isolation and the burden on care givers, preventing complications and inappropriate emergency care use, improving adherence, health communication and behavior, supporting risk assessment, and relieving the frequency of the healthcare environment.
