Study Summary
Objectives: Patient satisfaction is a key determinant of the quality of care and an important component of pay for performance metrics. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of a simple intervention aimed to increase patients' understanding of their orthopaedic trauma surgeon and improve patient satisfaction with the overall quality of inpatient care delivered by the attending surgeon. Design: Prospective quality improvement initiative using a randomized intervention. Setting: Level 1 academic trauma center. Patients/Participants: Two hundred twelve patients were eligible; 100 patients were randomized to the intervention group, and 112 patients were randomized to the control group. Overall, 76 patients could be reached for follow-up satisfaction survey, including 34 patients in the intervention group and 42 patients in the control group. Intervention: Patients randomized to the intervention group received an attending biosketch card, which included a picture of the attending orthopaedic surgeon with a brief synopsis of his educational background, specialty, surgical interests, and research interests. Main Outcome Measures: Our primary outcome measure was a patient satisfaction survey assessing patients' rating of the overall quality of inpatient care delivered by the attending surgeon.
Primary Outcome
Within 2 weeks of discharge from the hospital, but before the patient's first clinic visit, each group will be called by the Professional Resource Group as part of regular quality improvement by the Vanderbilt Medical Center Department of Strategic Development. The patients will be asked a series of questions aimed at determining overall patient satisfaction based on interactions with the attending orthopaedic trauma surgeon.
