Abstract

Introductions: Nowadays, evaluating how well healthcare is serving patients depends much on quality of life (QoL) assessments. Including quality of life (QoL) indicators into healthcare systems might enable individuals to make better decisions, provide patients better treatment, and develop new approaches of treating them. Focussing on how they influence patient outcomes and how well healthcare operates, this study investigates how quality of life (QoL) exams affect the methods of delivery of healthcare.
Methods:  Using a mixed-methods approach, qualitative interviews with healthcare management and employees combined with quantitative patient data analysis. Electronic health records (EHRs) provided us with QoL ratings, which we examined in light of clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, and additionally conducted were interviews to learn people's opinions on and applications for QoL criteria in clinical settings.
Findings:  reveal that by highlighting what matters to the patient and facilitating their communication with their healthcare providers, quality of life (QoL) assessments greatly increase the likelihood of tailored treatment. Using QoL data also helped make better decisions about how to use resources and what kind of care to give. There were, however, problems found when trying to add QoL data to current systems, mostly with standardising and communicating the data.
Conclusion: Quality of life (QoL) surveys are a useful way to improve the way healthcare is delivered because they help with patient-centered care, making decisions, and allocating resources. Getting past integration problems can make them even more useful in professional settings.
