A day surgery patient telephone follow-up survey

David Hawkshaw

Year: 1994 Journal:   British Journal of Nursing Vol: 3 (7)Pages: 348-350   Publisher: Mark Allen Group

Abstract

Day surgery units must increase their workload while still providing a quality service. Patients' ratings of pain control, comfort and satisfaction with the service have implications both ethically and for purchaser/provider contracts. Telephoning patients after surgery provides evidence of good practice or the need for its revision.
