What affects quality in health care?
The level of quality in hospital environments
is affected by:
(1) the quality of technical care;
(2) the quality of interpersonal relationships;
(3) the quality of hospital amenities and the
environment (Potter et. al, 1994. Int J of Health Care Qual Assur, Vol 7, pp.4–29).
High performing organizations
Hospitals with high levels of ‘patient care
experience’ reported by patients provide
clinical care that is higher in quality across a
range of conditions.
Jha A et al (2008) N Engl J Med 2008; 359:1921-1931.
The evidence
Improved patient experience is positively
associated with:
• Objectively measured health outcomes
• Adherence to medications and treatments
• Health resource usage
• Technical quality of care & adverse events
Doyle C et al BMJ Open Jan 20, 2013
Benefits of Patient Based Care
Refocusing care delivery around the patient• Improves patient care experience....• Improves clinical and operational-level
outcomes:• improved patient adherence
• fewer medication errors
• decreased adverse events
• improved staff satisfaction
• enhanced staff recruitment
• decreased length of stay
• decreased ED return visits
• And the bottom line.
Organizational outcomes
Business-case for Patient Based Care: • Decreased malpractice claims• Higher employee retention rates• Decreased readmission rates• Reduced operating costs
Charmel PA, Frampton SB. Building the business case for
patient-centred Care. Healthcare Financial Management
2008;March 1-6.
“The three dimensions of quality should be
looked at as group and not in isolation.”
“Clinicians should resist sidelining patient
experience as too subjective or mood-
orientated, divorced from the ‘real’ clinical
work of measuring safety & effectiveness.”
Doyle C et al BMJ Open Jan 20, 2013
Leaders in patient based care*Organisational characteristics:

• Communication of strategic vision
• Engagement of patient and families
• Sustained focus on staff satisfaction

*Luxford et.al. 2011 Int J Quality in Healthcare Vol 23(5): 510-515.
Leadership commitment Start each Board meeting with a story of patient
care from your service Arrange for board and executive members to
visit wards to regularly talk with staff and patients Involve patient advisors in strategic planning
process Demonstrate leadership commitment –
communicate a patient-focussed mission to new staff at orientation
Lessons learnt – Inquiries....Mid Staffordshire, UK
• Need for a common culture of ‘putting
patients first’
• “Every single person serving patients
needs to contribute to a safe, committed
and compassionate and caring service”
• Need for strong, patient centred healthcare
leadership
Listening to patient feedback – use to drive change....
Catheter-related bloodstream infections
occur 56% more frequently in hospitals
with low patient ratings for nurse or
doctor communication
Reed K. (2012) Health Grades Patient Safety and Satisfaction
Patient feedback as a predictor...
Safety: patient feedback about hospital
cleanliness is a positive predictor:
• for staff participation in activities like hand-
washing
• for MRSA infection levels

What do patients value in care?
Being treated with dignity and respect
Having confidence & trust in providers
Courtesy & availability of staff
Continuity & transitions
Coordination of care
Pain management & physical comfort
Respect for preferences
Emotional support

priorities do not seem to

hospitals need to
improve...”

Challenges ahead
• Changing mind set of staff from ‘provider-focus’ to a ‘patient-focus’
• Change takes longer than anticipated – it’s about transforming culture and care delivered
“So for whatever reason, we had the attitude where the physician is king and the patient, ‘well, we’ll get to the patient when we have time.’” (COO)

Patient engagement:Not just the ‘soft stuff’
Service quality and interpersonal relationships are
critical dimensions to support and promote not
only improved patient care experience but also
patient safety, treatment, recovery and wellbeing
