Patient-reported outcome measures in New Zealand: Results from the adult primary care patient experience survey
19 Feb 2026
This is our the first national report on patient‑reported outcome measures (PROMs) in New Zealand. It outlines how PROMs are being implemented and presents results from two measures, EQ‑5D‑5L and Hua Oranga, based on responses from about 56,000 people who had contact with their general practice.
EQ-5D-5L
The EQ-5D-5L is a generic measure of self-reported health in five dimensions: mobility, self‑care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression.
Hua Oranga
Hua Oranga is a ‘by Māori, for Māori’ health outcome measure that includes four items to measure each of the four taha (domains) of Te Whare Tapa Whā: tinana (physical health), wairua (spiritual health), hinengaro (mental/emotional health) and whānau (social health).
