Patient Experience: Key to Clinical Effectiveness & Safety #shorts

Some friendly reminders to us all. One of the things that we are learning more and more about over the last probably 20 years is that this body of work called patient experience is not really just a nice to have. It actually is positively associated with clinical effectiveness and patient safety. One of the things that we see is that healthcare providers really should resist sidelining patient experience as being too subjective or mood-oriented or divorced from the real clinical work of measuring safety and effectiveness. And we see positive associations appear across disease areas, study design, settings, populations, and outcome measures. And we see this from different sources. One particular source, uh, was the British Medical Journal, um, that was a systematic review of evidence on the links between patient experience and clinical safety and effectiveness.
