Getting the measure of the patient experience
1Central Manchester Foundation Trust.
Abstract:
Enhanced recovery uses evidence-based interventions to improve the perioperative care of patients undergoing major surgery. Due to the relative lack of research into patient experience, Central Manchester Foundation Trust distributed a questionnaire to measure the experience of patients cared for on a colorectal ER pathway. Overall, results were favourable, and described good pain management and high-quality care provided by the enhanced recovery team. This article describes how the results will be used to shape services in the future.
