Article in Health policy and technology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03837912 (Intervention Based on the Use of Patient Feedback Collected for Improving Patient Safety in Spanish Primary Care), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Abstract

objectivesTo contribute towards the current policy directive and recommendations outlined in the Francis Report (1) to strengthen relational aspects of hospital care and increase the use of a near real-time feedback (RTF) approach. This article offers insight into the challenges and enablers faced when collecting near real-time feedback of patient experiences with trained volunteers; and using the data to facilitate improvements.

methodsFeedback was collected from staff and volunteers before, during and after a patient experience data collection. This took the form of both formal mixed methods data collections via interviews, surveys and a diary; and informal anecdotal evidence, collected from meetings, workshops, support calls and a networking event.

resultsVarious challenges and enablers associated with the RTF approach were identified. These related to technology, the setting, volunteer engagement and staff engagement. This article presents the key barriers experienced followed by methods suggested and utilised by staff and volunteers in order to counteract the difficulties faced.

conclusionsThe results from this evaluation suggest that a near real-time feedback approach, when used in a hospital setting with trained volunteers, benefits from various support structures or systems to minimise the complications or burden placed on both staff and volunteers.
