Authors' objectives:
In recent years, the NHS has recognised the importance of getting feedback from patients about their hospital experiences. For example, most hospitals now collect information about whether a patient would recommend the hospital to their friends and family. Patient Experience (PE) information is also available through routine surveys, the complaints patients make and via social media forums (e.g. Patient Opinion, NHS Choices and Twitter). The amount of data available is greater than ever and has the potential to be useful for ward staff and hospital management boards seeking to improve patients experiences of their hospital care. However, research has not kept pace with this growth in PE data, and we know little about which types of feedback staff teams use or how they use them to make improvements. Our previous research suggests that staff are overwhelmed by this data, some of which does not help them to understand what they need to do to improve (i.e. it simply provides them with a score) and even when they do have good information, they can struggle to make good use of it. The overall aim of this research is to understand and improve how hospital staff learn from and act on PE data. The research is conducted in 4 stages; each stage addresses a different purpose.
