Content ArticleThe report suggests that it’s time for a fresh look at how we evaluate and capture patient experience. While there is no shortage of measures of ‘patient experience’, they tend to measure the performance of the system. Few truly start from the patient’s perspective and illuminate what being a patient is like. Nor are they reliable drivers of improvement in the health and care system. Being A Patient investigated possible new approaches to capturing patient experience, which go beyond the traditional model of evaluating the experience of receiving care, and instead consider the experience of living with a health or care need. So far we have suggestions for possible new factors to consider, including the nature of a person’s illness and its impact on their life. This report completes the first stage of the patient experience programme.

Content ArticleThe paper acknowledges the success, failure and efficiency of all safety efforts is fundamental to the experience of patients and families. In addition, the safety systems in place in an organisation directly shape and define the clinician’s experience. Generated from these concepts, key recommendations in integrating safety and experience are explored: • acknowledge safety as a primary driver for overall experience of both patients and clinicians • approach safety and patient experience through a unified lens • make financial choices that reflect a commitment to the experience of safety • make a conscious, accountable and strategic effort to build a culture of caring • optimise technology to care for the caretakers • engage patient and family voice to lead change and drive future solutions.

"Patients are not empowered to prevent their own harm", says Sir Liam Donaldson
Patient Safety Learning posted a news article in News
Today, Sir Liam Donaldson is chairing a patient safety meeting at the World Health Organization (WHO) 'A Global Consultation – A decade of Patient Safety 2020–2030' to formulate a Global Patient Safety Action Plan. His introductory address this morning focused on the task ahead – to maintain the World Health Assembly resolution momentum and patient safety as a global movement. "Patients are not empowered to prevent their own harm", Donaldson said, as he highlighted patient stories of unsafe care and the alarming parallels of patient and family experiences across the world. So where is the power? Donaldson went on to to highlight how the six current power blocks are not doing enough to improve safety and that we need to engage and motivate these power blocks to achieve change: Designing of health systems – we have not seen much evidence of systems being designed for safety. Health leaders are not using their power to lead for reduced harm. Educational institutions – these have to happen faster to train staff in. Research community – has patient safety research led to sustainable reduction in risk? Data and information – how has this improved patient safety? Industry – pharma doing very little on medication packaging and labelling; medical devices industry also could do more. -

Health NHS patient feedback is not being used to improve services, report warns
Patient Safety Learning posted a news article in News
The NHS is spending millions of pounds encouraging patients to give feedback but the information gained is not being used effectively to improve services, experts have warned. Widespread collection of patient comments is often “disjointed and standalone” from efforts to improve the quality of care, according to a study by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). Nine separate studies of how hospitals collect and use feedback were analysed. They showed that while thousands of patients give hospitals their comments, their reports are often reduced to simple numbers – and in many cases, the NHS lacks the ability to analyse and act on the results. The research found the NHS had a “managerial focus on bad experiences” meaning positive comments on what went well were “overlooked”. The NIHR report said: “A lot of resource and energy goes into collecting feedback data but less into analysing it in ways that can lead to change, or into sharing the feedback with staff who see patients on a day-to-day basis. NHS England's chief nurse, Ruth May, said: "Listening to patient experience is key to understanding our NHS and there is more that that we can hear to improve it. This research gives insight into how data can be analysed and used by frontline staff to make changes that patients tell us are needed." Read full story Source: 13 January 2020 -
