NHS England started the work described in this article with the ambition of using insight and feedback from the adult National Cancer Patient Experience Survey to grow coproduced service improvements leading to improved patient centred quality outcomes in experience for cancer patients. Based on the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s Breakthrough Collaborative Series, the approach of the Cancer Experience of Care Improvement Collaboratives (CIC) in the English healthcare system was developed, initially with 19 NHS provider organisation teams in 2019 as a face-to-face model, then developing into two collaboratives with an additional 15 NHS provider organisation teams in Cohort 2 and …

The increased use of interactive voice response (IVR) in assessing patient and family experience should be paired with evidence-based practices on how to obtain the most accurate information via this survey mode. We added a brief clarification sentence of the survey scale at the start of the IVR call to improve our experience data both qualitatively and quantitatively. Our setting was an urban pediatric hospital. We gathered lived experiences from our patients, families, and providers to understand and design a change to the IVR survey mode that would reduce survey inaccuracies. Outcome measures were assessed by baseline measurement and post-intervention …

The COVID-19 pandemic prompted the rapid uptake of Virtual Care (VC). Positive patient outcomes with VC are previously reported but little is known about the experiences of patients and providers using VC during the pandemic. We aimed to describe patient and primary care provider experiences, satisfaction, perceptions, and attitudes to VC during the COVID-19 pandemic that might explain adoption of VC across the continuum of care and inform sustained uptake. We conducted a sequential explanatory mixed methods study using online surveys and virtual interviews with a convenience sample of primary care providers and patients in a Canadian province (July – …

Patient Experience Journal

In this paper we identified what was reported in the literature on qualitative and quantitative approaches used to capture and improve patient experiences in a hospital setting. For inclusion, articles were required to describe an embedded strategy for capturing patient experiences that was used to inform quality improvement in a hospital setting. Articles also had to be published in English between January 2004 and December 2020. Six databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Health and Psychosocial Instruments and Cochrane Library) and grey literature (relevant hospital and government websites) were searched. All articles were screened by two reviewers and any disagreements were …

Beyond Hcahps: Analysis Of Patients’ Comments Provides An Expanded View Of Their Hospital Experiences, Andrew S. Gallan, Rakesh Niraj, Awanindra Singh

Patient Experience Journal

An important concern for health care professionals is that standardized patient surveys may not fully capture all the topics that are important to patients. As a result, health care professionals may not have a complete picture of what their patients experience. The purpose of this research is to utilize a state-of-the-art Natural Language Processing technique to make sense of patients’ solicited, unstructured comments to gain a deeper and broader understanding of their experiences in the hospital. We analyzed a large dataset of inpatient survey responses (48,592 patients generating 65,998 comments) by a patient experience survey vendor for an eleven-hospital health …
