Content ArticleBoth staff and patients want feedback from patients about the care to be heard and acted upon and the NHS has clear policies to encourage this. However, doing this in practice is complex and challenging. This report from the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) features nine new research studies about using patient experience data in the NHS. These show what organisations are doing now and what could be done better. Evidence ranges from hospital wards to general practice to mental health settings. The report found that although a lot of resource and energy goes into collecting feedback data, less goes 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. Patients’ intentions in giving feedback are sometimes misunderstood. Many want to give praise and support staff and to have two-way conversations about care, but the focus of healthcare providers can be on complaints and concerns, meaning they unwittingly disregard useful feedback. The report provides insights into new ways of mining and analyzing big data, using online feedback and approaches to involving patients in making sense of feedback and driving improvements.

Content ArticleInpatients could play an important role in identifying, preventing and reporting problems in the quality and safety of their care. To support them effectively in that role, informatics solutions must align with their experiences. The authors of this research paper published in the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association set out to understand how inpatients experience undesirable events and to surface opportunities for those informatics solutions.

Content ArticleThe South West Patient Safety Collaborative has introduced a validated assessment tool for safety culture in England, using a survey called SCORE (safety, communication, operational risk, resilience and reliability, and engagement). As part of the ‘Safer Culture, Better Care’ programme, this anonymous survey gives individuals and teams a fresh perspective on their current patient safety culture. Over 10,000 staff in 122 teams have taken part in the programme, leading to improved patient safety and new ways of working. The implementation of the SCORE survey had two objectives: Support teams across a wide range of health and care settings to improve their safety culture and quality of care. Increase the knowledge and understanding of the role safety culture plays in the delivery of high-quality care. Top tips for adoption: The approach concentrated on the quality of the process. Word of mouth and recommendation was key. Awareness-raising of safety culture regionally generated interest. Public and patient involvement should be part of the process. Some teams have involved patients in their debriefing or improvement planning.

Content ArticleOn 20 March 2018 NHS Improvement launched an engagement programme to seek views from a wide range of stakeholders about how and when patient safety incidents should be investigated. Often those affected by incidents are not appropriately supported or involved in the investigation process; the quality of investigation reports is generally poor; and improvements to prevent the recurrence of harm are not effectively implemented. To obtain views on the problems with the current approach to the investigation of Serious Incidents, the issues driving these problems, and how such issues might be resolved, NHSI ran an online survey, national workshops and a live twitter chat, and held discussions with many individuals including patients, families, NHS staff, regulators and others. This document summarises the feedback received.

Content ArticleThe aim of this study from Choi et al. was to investigate the scope and severity of the second victim problem among nurses in South Korea by examining the experiences and effects of patient safety incidents (PSIs) on them. The study found a considerable number of nurses experienced psychological difficulties due to PSIs at levels that could interfere with their work. The effect of PSIs on nurses with direct experience of PSIs was greater compared with those with indirect experience. There need to be psychological support programmes for nurses to alleviate the negative effects of PSIs.

Content ArticleThe NHS Friends and Family Test (FFT) is designed to be a quick and simple mechanism for patients and other people who use NHS services to give feedback. This feedback can then be used to identify what is working well and to improve the quality of any aspect of patient experience. This guidance sets out the requirements of the FFT and is intended to support all provider organisations that are required to deliver the FFT.
