There is a growing impetus to "measure what matters" to enable health systems to optimise value-based, person-centred healthcare. This paper describes the critical importance of patient-reported outcome and experience measures (PROMs and PREMs) in this pursuit and provides an in-depth overview of how PROM and PREM programs differ between England, the United States, and Australia. A comprehensive timeline of PROM, PREM, legislation/policy, and value-based purchasing (pay-for-performance) program implementation accompanies this discussion. Importantly, this paper highlights disparities between these nations' PROMs and PREMs programs, evidencing that we still have a way to go towards equal health system performance measurement globally. <strong>Experience Framework</strong> This article is associated with the Policy & Measurement lens of The Beryl Institute Experience Framework.
