Definition of “Patient Experience” vs. “Patient Satisfaction”
“Patient experience is the sum of all interactions, shaped
by an organization’s culture, that influence patient
perceptions across the continuum of care.” - Beryl Institute
– “Everything we say and do that affects our patients’ thoughts,
feelings, and well-being.” -Society of Hospital Medicine
“Patient satisfaction, on the other hand, is about whether a
patient’s expectations about a health encounter were met.” –Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ)

How can we improve patient experience?
Cannot improve what we cannot measure: need data
CMS asked AHRQ to develop HCAHPS to:
– Provide objective and meaningful comparisons of domains of
hospital care that are important to patients
– Create incentives for hospitals to improve
– Enhance public accountability
3
HCAHPS: Standard 32 questions
Topics include…
– Communication with nurses and
doctors
– Pain management
– Responsiveness
– Environment clean/quiet
– Discharge information
– Care transitions
– Overall rating
– Willingness to Recommend

Limitations of HCAHPS in improving patient experience
HIIN Patient and Family Engagement Summit July 21, 2017
Florida Hospital Association 4
Patient engagement is key to positive patient experience
“…even a score of high satisfaction on a
validated survey does not necessarily imply
high quality care has been provided. To be
successful in improving health services to
meet patients’ needs and preferences,
providers must have comprehensive
patient engagement strategies that
include the patient and/or their family
members as full partners in the enterprise.”
– Canadian Foundation for Healthcare Improvement

“The emerging evidence is that patients who are actively
involved in their health and health care achieve better health
outcomes, and have lower health costs, than those who aren’t.”
- Susan Dentzer, Health Affairs, in “Rx for the ‘Blockbuster Drug’ of
Patient Engagement”

HCAHPS is “but one component” of patient engagement
“Collection of satisfaction and experience data is but one
component of a broader patient engagement strategy. To
overcome some of the limitations of [patient] surveys,
providers may begin asking more open-ended questions or…
form patient/family advisory councils, participatory models
that are reflective of genuine patient involvement. Patients can
also be intimately involved in efforts to (re)design care.”
– Canadian Foundation for Healthcare Improvement

Critics and Counter-Arguments
Critics suggest
Patients are not clinical experts and
HCAHPS may reflect frustration if the
care does not match expectations
– J.J. Fenton, MD, MPH found
association between higher satisfaction
and 1) higher utilization, 2) higher
mortality
Patient experience is also influenced
by experience at home, after
discharge, so it is “beyond the scope of
hospital interventions”

AHRQ PFCC LC’s HCAHPS Data Analysis:
Methods
10 Florida hospitals submitted HCAHPS data
Date range of data: Sept 2014 – Dec 2015
– Various HCAHPS vendors: Press-Ganey, Avatar, Health Stream, PRC, National
Research Corp.,
– Data not available for all measures (number of measures included in datasets
ranged from 19 - 38)
– Half of datasets included only composite measures
28

Organized monthly data submitted by hospitals
– Nurse communications
– Doctor communications
– Willingness to recommend
Used top box data with robust sample size
Developed scatter plots with linear trend lines to illustrate
trajectory over time

Data Analysis Limitations
Confounding factors likely (i.e., other initiatives may be affecting HCAHPS
scores)
Survey administrative time periods varied
Summary analysis groups together composite and individual measures
PFACs launched at different points in time
No control group

Using LCs to Implement, Sustain PFE Gains that
Impact Experience
LCs can provide a rich collaborative environment that motivates organizational changes
Use of AHRQ’s Innovations Exchange to share solutions and experts helped create positive change
– Offered access to experienced innovators with “real-world” perspective is invaluable for implementation
– Provided proven PFCC strategies for LC members to adopt
– Shares resources (e.g., templates) to aid implementation
– Access to innovators, who offered ongoing guidance on implementation, sustainability

73 new patient and family advisors (PFAs) across the 11 LC member hospitals
– PFAs volunteered an estimated 3,700 hours to LC member hospitals between September 2015 and July 2016
8 established 24-hour welcoming policy
10 implemented evaluations of hospital processes or protocols
6 developed staff training on PFCC
7 implemented the use of a patient communication notepad
7 now include PFCC concepts in hospital policies

Previous FHA Activities on Patient Engagement and
Experience: Learning Communities
FHA/AHRQ HCAHPS Learning Community
– Goal: To support hospital teams in effectively using HCAHPS as a tool for
improving quality, safety, and the patient experience
AHRQ Patient- and Family-Centered Learning Community
– Goal: To support hospitals seeking to advance the practice of patient- and
family-centered care by implementing proven strategies
• Common link: better patient & family engagement
Building on its momentum: FHA’s PFE HIIN Learning Collaborative
38
In Summary
HCAHPS is a critical aide, but by itself, it is just a measurement tool
– PFA review of data can provide powerful and actionable feedback to improve
care quality and the patient experience
Patient and family engagement is an evidence-based strategy to enhance
the patient experience
FHA’s HIIN PFE LC will provide members with the opportunity to learn about
PFE strategies that work, brainstorm challenges with faculty and other
members, and receive technical assistance in implementing PFE activities
