Area of Science:

  • Healthcare quality assessment
  • Patient safety research
  • Health communication

Context:

  • Variability in patient information content, format, and presentation is common.
  • Assessing patient-reported safety and document quality is crucial for healthcare improvement.
  • The Country Hospital of Melilla (HCML) provided documents for patient review.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate patient-perceived safety at HCML.
  • To assess the quality of patient-provided documents against International Patient Decision Aid Standards (IPDAS).

Summary:

  • A descriptive study analyzed 40 in-house documents (instructions, recommendations, guidelines) from HCML using IPDAS criteria.
  • Patient-perceived safety and medication information were average; only 27.5% of documents displayed a hospital logo.
  • Adherence to IPDAS criteria was low: 24.1% for instructions, 24.8% for recommendations, and 61.5% for guidelines.

Impact:

  • Findings suggest significant organizational improvement is needed in patient safety perception and documentation quality.
  • Improved patient documentation can enhance shared decision-making and patient engagement.
  • This study highlights the need for standardized, high-quality patient information to support informed healthcare choices.
