Picker Institute evaluation of Survivorship pilot surveys

This is really aimed at medics – might send you to sleep!

The Picker Institute say they are a not-for-profit organisation that makes patients’ views count.

Last year they issued a survey on the test sites for the NCSI Test projects.

It produced some positive responses, but one wonders how this might have been                                                                         influenced by the fact that the hospitals where they were treated obviously care                                                                             about their long-term survival – so encourage patients and take an interest in them.

It would be interesting to see what the responses would be, if patients from other hospitals who tend treat patients on  ‘production lines’  might respond.
