Patient satisfaction with day surgery in New South Wales public hospitals is high, with most recommending the service. However, significant variations exist in admission scheduling and post-discharge patient contact across facilities.

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Patient Experience Studies
  • Surgical Outcomes

Background:

  • Day surgery is increasingly utilized in public healthcare systems.
  • Assessing patient satisfaction is crucial for service improvement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate patient satisfaction with day surgery facilities in New South Wales (NSW) public hospitals.
  • To identify areas of strength and potential improvement in day surgery services.

Main Methods:

  • A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from 150 patients per unit across 8 day surgery units in NSW.
  • The anonymous survey assessed satisfaction with admission, care, and postoperative recovery.

Main Results:

  • The overall response rate was 37.3%, with significant variation between hospitals (14.7%–52.7%).

  • High satisfaction was reported: 78.4% would recommend day surgery, and 94.2% would recommend their specific unit.
  • 87.0% found the experience as expected or less worrying; 2.7% required readmission within seven days.

    • Conclusions:

    • Day surgery in NSW public hospitals is generally well-accepted by patients.
    • Variations in admission scheduling and post-discharge follow-up highlight opportunities for standardized best practices.
