Patient reports of patient safety: An underused technology - Albert W Wu, 2024

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
In 1988, Dr Paul Ellwood was invited to deliver the prestigious Shattuck Lecture, organized by the publisher of the New England Journal of Medicine. In his presentation, Ellwood talked about “outcomes management,” which he referred to as “a technology of patient experience.” He called for a national database containing information and analysis on clinical, financial, and health outcomes.”1 By health outcomes he meant the impact of treatments on patients’ quality of life, based on reports of their own satisfaction. These reports could serve as tools for assessing quality.
