About
Dr. Francesca Pennucci is a leading researcher in patient-centered outcomes and healthcare quality, with a specific focus on integrating Patient Reported Outcome and Experience Measures (PROMs and PREMs) into surgical oncology. Her work bridges the critical gap between clinical metrics and the lived experiences of patients, particularly in the context of robotic oncological surgery. Her most cited study, "Implementing successful systematic Patient Reported Outcome and Experience Measures (PROMs and PREMs) in robotic oncological surgery—The role of physicians" (2019, 35 citations), provides a landmark analysis of how physician engagement is essential for the successful adoption of these measures. By examining the case of five hospitals implementing PROMs and PREMs for robotic colorectal surgery, Pennucci demonstrated that systematic collection of patient feedback can directly improve care pathways and surgical quality. Her research has been instrumental in advancing value-based healthcare, showing that patient perspectives are not merely supplementary but central to evaluating surgical success. Pennucci’s work continues to shape how healthcare systems operationalize patient experience data, making her a key voice in the movement toward more responsive, patient-driven oncology care.
