Patient Reported Measures Research Collaborative

What is the Patient Report­ed Mea­sures Research Collaborative?

The Col­lab­o­ra­tive is made avail­able by the Com­mis­sion on Excel­lence and Inno­va­tion in Health (CEIH) and Health Trans­la­tion SA (HTSA) — mem­ber­ship is free.

The Col­lab­o­ra­tive’s pur­pose is to build a pro­fes­sion­al net­work of peo­ple with exper­tise and inter­est in PRMs research and to pro­mote oppor­tu­ni­ties that will fos­ter part­ner­ship and col­lab­o­ra­tion in the health system.

This includes pro­vid­ing a forum for clin­i­cal researchers and clin­i­cians from across South Aus­tralia to come togeth­er and share their knowl­edge and bring focus to the ben­e­fits of PRMs research in clin­i­cal practice. 

The Col­lab­o­ra­tive must align with the Prin­ci­ples of the PRM Pro­gram, CEIH strate­gic objec­tives, and the imple­men­ta­tion plan for the statewide PRMs Program.

Research Sym­po­sium

To date, The CEIH and HTSA have host­ed three PRMs Research Col­lab­o­ra­tive Sym­po­siums. Pro­gram themes were devel­oped based on feed­back from the Col­lab­o­ra­tive mem­ber­ship. These hybrid events have seen many fab­u­lous pre­sen­ta­tions from speak­ers across Aus­tralia, along with inter­est­ing pan­el dis­cus­sions and workshops.

The date for our next PRMs Research Col­lab­o­ra­tive Sym­po­sium is Tues­day 25 March 2025. The Sym­po­sium theme is : Patient Report­ed Mea­sures: Inte­grat­ing research and prac­tice for bet­ter healthcare.

The event will showcase:

  • PRMs data for research will focus on data access, shar­ing, eval­u­a­tion, and the bar­ri­ers researchers face in util­isz­ing this data
  • PRMs in prac­tice will high­light lessons learned from trans­dis­ci­pli­nary col­lab­o­ra­tion and co-creation
  • PRMs for val­ue-based health­care, empha­sis­ing how they link to health economics
  • PRMs in the con­text of qual­i­ty improve­ment in health­care settings


We are delight­ed that this excit­ing pro­gram will be pre­sent­ed at this years’ Sym­po­sium. Speak­ers will be pre­sent­ing from organ­i­sa­tions with­in South Aus­tralia and nation­al­ly, including:

  • Reg­istry of Senior Aus­tralians (ROSA) Research Centre
  • Flinders Uni­ver­si­ty
  • Uni­ver­si­ty of Tech­nol­o­gy, Sydney
  • Monash Uni­ver­si­ty

The com­pre­hen­sive pro­gram will be announced soon.

The pro­gram will also include an address by the CEO of Health Trans­la­tion SA, along with an update on the statewide South Aus­tralian PRMs Pro­gram by the PRMs Pro­gram Direc­tor, CEIH.

Please use the LINK to reg­is­ter your atten­dance (in-per­son or online) before Fri­day 7th March

The PRMs Research Col­lab­o­ra­tive E‑Newsletter

The PRMs Research Col­lab­o­ra­tive E‑Newsletter was launched in August 2022. The E‑Newsletter con­tent is con­tributed by Research Col­lab­o­ra­tive mem­bers and high­lights PRM research, activ­i­ties and links Col­lab­o­ra­tive mem­bers together.

We encour­age mem­bers to show­case their con­nect­ed research and projects, high­light any local activ­i­ties or events, edu­ca­tion­al oppor­tu­ni­ties, rel­e­vant resources and news.

To sub­mit to the next edi­tion, see PRMs Research Col­lab­o­ra­tive E‑Newsletter Sub­mis­sion.

PRMs Col­lab­o­ra­tive Grant

In March 2022, The CEIH announced a PRMs Research Col­lab­o­ra­tive Grant, open to Col­lab­o­ra­tive mem­bers to sup­port and pro­mote con­sumer-led research in patient report­ed measures. 

The CEIH PRMs Research Col­lab­o­ra­tive Grant was award­ed to a research project titled ​“Min­imis­ing the bur­den of haematopoi­et­ic stem cell trans­plant through PRMs”.

The project was con­sumer-led at each step, with con­sumer co-leads, Andrew Knox and Gra­ham Lewis, work­ing along­side Nicole Loft (Nurse Prac­ti­tion­er and co-lead) and Han­nah Wardill (Researcher and co-lead) and the extend­ed project team.

The project demon­strat­ed a gen­uine col­lab­o­ra­tion between con­sumers, researchers, and health-care organisations.

The grant team have com­plet­ed their final report, and we are pleased to share this here.
