Testing Accelerated Experience-Based Co-design: Using a National Archive of Patient Experience Narrative Interviews to Promote Rapid Patient-Centred Service Improvement

  • Chapter
Patient-Centred Health Care

Abstract

Measuring, understanding and improving patients’ experiences is of central importance to healthcare systems worldwide (Calabrese, 2010). In England, a recent government White Paper on National Health Service (NHS) reform emphasizes ‘putting patients and the public first’, or ‘no decision about without me’, as it has been characterized (Secretary of State for Health, 2010). The White Paper notes that:

The NHS… scores relatively poorly on being responsive to the patients it serves. It lacks a genuinely patient-centred approach in which services are designed around individual needs, lifestyles and aspirations. Too often, patients are expected to fit around services, rather than services around patients. [section 1.9]
