The English patient experience

Smith, Mel; Phippen, Andy

Abstract

Understanding the interaction between performance measurement, quality of care and patient satisfaction is important in managing healthcare. The family doctor is typically the first point of contact for patients and the gatekeeper for most treatments. Doctor's surgeries are extensively measured but little researched, however. A measurement framework which aims to improve quality of care has been adopted by most English surgeries, with patient satisfaction measured independently. This paper aims to determine whether achievement in the measurement system can predict patient satisfaction. Although literature suggests that quality care positively impacts on patient satisfaction, the results of this study do not support this.
