Project TOPS: Team-Based Oversight of Patient Satisfaction Through Real-Time Interdisciplinary Feedback
Background:
Despite the financial incentives to improve patient experience, measured through the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey, few interventions have led to sustained improvement.
Methods:
A real-time survey (RTS) designed to capture multiple domains was conducted on medical inpatients in a tertiary care center from July 2017 to June 2018. Answers were reviewed by a multidisciplinary team, and interventions to improve experience were completed.
Results:
A total of 235 RTSs resulted in 94 (40.0%) interventions. HCAHPS were compared 12 months pre-and postintervention, with an increase in the percentage of "always" for the responsiveness domain, 38.9% vs. 59.7%, p = 0.005. Several other domains showed an increase that did not reach statistical significance.
Conclusion:
Conducting RTSs may allow for a better understanding of patient experience and active service recovery.
