Patient Experience Measurement
Chris Graham
Chief Executive
The Picker Institute
• what tools and techniques are available to establish how far patient experience is embedded in leadership, culture and operational processes
• methods for measuring, monitoring, and understanding people’s experiences of care
• making measurement meaningful
• closing the patient experience loop – providing feedback to demonstrate responsiveness and continuous learning
Chris Graham presents the person centred care approach, an approach that promotes an aspired quality of care. The person centred care puts users at the heart of the services, encouraging the view of a patient as a participant rather than the reciever of care. The user plays an active role, instead of a passive role, empowering users to be involved in the care they receive.
After discussing the brief history of Patient Experience, Chris discusses the difference between Patient Satisfaction and Patient Experience. Patient Experience tends to view patient care through a more objective lens, aiming to understand what good care looks like. On the other hand, Patient Satisfaction tends to provide meaningless expressions of satisfaction. Chris argues that reporting on your experience rather than your satisfaction allows you to be more direct and objective, making the result more reliable.
The session presents and discusses in more detail the 6Ws of survey deisgn that need to be understood: Why, What, Who, When, Where, and hoW.
