Factors influencing patients’ willingness
to recommend hospital as a place for therapy.
Polish RN4CAST pilot study results.
ESHMS 2010 Ghent 26-28.08.2010
Patient satisfaction is an important indicator of Healthcare Quality
Started in 1994 yr.
The Centre of Monitoring Healthcare QualityThe primary goals • Education about Healthcare Quality for Teams from Health Care Service.
• Implementation and Improvement of Accreditation Process.
• Health Technology Assessment (HTA)
• Monitoring three Categories of Indicators of HealthCare Quality: medical, quality of life and patient’ satisfaction.
The PASAT program is applied by 94 hospitals and 13 outpatient clinic with accreditation of the CMHQ
Pilot study
To accomplish objectives of the RN4CAST project (
www.rn4cast.eu/en/index.php) in Poland, a pilot
study was conducted in one 24/7 acute care hospital
This presentation shows selected data of the Patient
6) received information about possible side effects and self-care after leaving the hospital (2 items) Dichotomous response format
Background variablesType of unit, expected number of days to stay in the hospital, self-rated health, education level,
Statistical analysis
Multivariate logistic regression model – 9 models for every dimension of patient satisfaction separately
Analysis was done with SPSS 15 for Windows
Main outcome measure of patient satisfaction:„Would you recommend this hospital to your friends and family?”: definitely no, probably no, probably yes, definitely yes

Quality of questionnaire
46% responders completed 100% of the questions
74% responders completed 90% of the questions
(missing less than 2/24 questions)
90% responders completed 80% of the questions
(missing less than 5/24 questions)

Odd-ratio of having doubts when recommending the hospital
1. Patients who did not obtained full information about
self-care after leaving the hospital had higher odds
(OR=4,3) of having doubts in models regarding respect
from medical staff.
2. Patient who expected to stay in hospital from 3 to 7
days had lower odds (OR=0,2) of having doubts.
3. Patients with poor and mean SRH had higher odds
(OR=3,1) of having doubts.

Conclusions:
• lack of respect from medical staff, especially from
physicians,
• effective pain management
• lack of full information concerning:
1. The questionnaire was well received, understood,
the response level was high and logical.
2. Factors influencing willingness to recommend the
