It is difficult to routinely capture and integrate the patient voice into quality improvement cycles at scale. Free-text data collected from patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) provide rich context into the patient experience. Digital solutions are emerging to analyse this unstructured data with speed and precision; yet, understanding how PREMs analysis can be digitised in healthcare settings remains unexplored.

Abstract Digital transformation in healthcare improves the safety of health systems. Within our health service, a new digital hospital has been established and two wards from a neighbouring paper-based hospital transitioned into the new digital hospital. This created an opportunity to evaluate the impact of complete digital transformation on medication safety.

Abstract Globally, there is a growing acknowledgment of Indigenous Peoples’ rights to control data related to their communities. This is seen in the development of Indigenous Data Governance standards. As health data collection increases, it’s crucial to apply these standards in research involving Indigenous communities.
