What can I learn?
- Patient experience remains the weakest of the three arms of quality; it doesn’t get the same attention as safety and clinical effectiveness and still tends to be seen as a nice add-on. This needs to change.
- Don’t measure, unless you’re willing and able to improve.
- Start small, but start. Don’t be focussed on the barriers. Measure well. Feedback responsibly, link it to improvement.
- Don’t worry about unleashing high patient expectations that can’t be met.
