Exploring The Impact Of An Interprofessional Care Protocol On The Patient Experience And Outcomes For Seniors With Diabetes, Linda J. Mast Phd, Facmpe, Ateequr Rahman Phd, Diane Bridges Phd, Neil L. Horsley Dpm
Patient Experience Journal
Contemporary healthcare has placed intensified focus on the patient experience. Ultimately the patient experience is influenced by relationships with healthcare providers. In order to make a positive impact on patient outcomes and quality of care, the patient experience must be positive. Interprofessional collaboration is recognized as a key aspect of a culture that fosters patient-centered care and a positive patient experience. This quasi-experimental study explores the impact of interprofessional collaboration to develop a preventive services care protocol for seniors with diabetes. Patients were studied over six months using pre-test and post-test measures. Both quantitative data from clinical outcomes and qualitative …

Are We Providing Patient-Centered Care? Preferences About Paracentesis And Thoracentesis Procedures, Jeffrey H. Barsuk, Sarah E. Kozmic, Jordan Scher, Joe Feinglass, Aimee Hoyer, Diane B. Wayne
Patient Experience Journal
Procedures performed at the bedside are as safe and less expensive than Interventional Radiology (IR) procedures. Patient preferences regarding location are rarely taken into account. Therefore, in this study we compared patient satisfaction with bedside and IR paracentesis and thoracentesis procedures, and identified reasons for patient location preferences. We performed a cross-sectional survey of medical inpatients undergoing paracentesis or thoracentesis procedures at a tertiary care academic medical center. The survey had eight domains: overall experience, pain control, expertise, courtesy, bedside manner of the physician, time required, explanation of risks/benefits, comfort and privacy. Patients were also asked about their preference for …

The Patient Experience Movement Moment, William Lehrman Phd, Geoffrey Silvera Mha, Jason A. Wolf Phd
Patient Experience Journal
For years, the patient experience movement has continued to gain momentum. From a novel concept, there is an emerging consensus that the patient experience is a fundamental aspect of provider quality; one that complements established clinical process and outcome measures but is neither subsumed nor secondary to them. An increasing volume of research as encouraged by publications such as Patient Experience Journal show this to be true. As the expectation of a high-quality patient experience becomes the norm, these developments have brought us to what we call the patient experience movement moment and there is little doubt that the patient …
A Gathering Place For Patient Experience Research: The Power Of Community, Jason A. Wolf Phd
A Gathering Place For Patient Experience Research: The Power Of Community, Jason A. Wolf Phd
Patient Experience Journal
In introducing Issue 2, we explore the power of community and its implications in shaping not only the purpose and intent of Patient Experience Journal, but of the patient experience movement itself. Community defined in this moment is simple, yet significant, the key being unity around common interest and its focus on ownership and participation. The idea of community bears great weight and has provided strong guidance and purpose for the work of experience excellence. It supports the goal of elevating the conversation, helps align the voices engaged and provides the space for listening, learning and impact.

Patient Experience Journal
In recent years, perceptions of performance and quality of healthcare organizations have begun to move beyond examining the provision of excellent clinical care, alone, and to consider and embrace the patient experience as an important indicator. There is a need to determine the extent to which clear and formal definitions exist, have common overarching themes, and/or have unique, but important constructs that should be considered more widely. In this article, we provide a 14-year synthesis of existing literature and other sources (2000-2014) that have been used to define patient experience. A total of 18 sources (articles or organizational websites) were …
