Abstract

AIM: To develop and explore the validity of a Patient Reported Experience Measure (PREM) for adult inpatient diabetes care.

METHOD: 27 in-depth interviews were conducted to inform the development of the 42-item PREM which was cognitively tested with 10 people. A refined 38-item PREM was piloted with 228 respondents completing a paper (n = 198) or online (n = 30) version. The performance of the PREM was evaluated by exploring (i) uptake/number of responses and (ii) survey validity by investigating whether the PREM data were of adequate quality and delivered useful information.

RESULTS: The PREM had low drop-out or missing data rates suggesting it was appropriately constructed. Analysis of item frequencies and variances, and problem score calculations concluded that questions provided sufficient score differentiation.

CONCLUSIONS: This new PREM allows for experiences of inpatient diabetes care to be measured, understood and reported on to help identify priority areas for improving care quality.
