摘要

Objectives: All health care providers in England are required to conduct surveys of their patients’ experience ofnhealth care. Data from such surveys contribute to the ‘star rating’ performance indicators. However, there arenconcerns that these subjective measuresmay be in uenced more by characteristics of patients than by true variationsnin the quality of care. The purpose of this paper is threefold: to determine the relationship between demographicncharacteristics and an index measure of patients’ reported experience; to explore the extent to which patients’nexperiences may be accounted for by the particular National Health Service (NHS) trust they attended; and to assessnhow meaningful a summary index is in terms of its ability to discriminate between providers.nMethods: Data from patients in the National Survey of National Health Service Patients treated for coronary heartndisease in 194 NHS trusts. Patients were sent questionnaires after discharge, with a covering letter and a prepaidnstamped addressed envelope. Up to two reminders were sent to non-responders. Multi-level linear regressionnmodels were used to estimate the extent to which patients’ experiences differed between trusts and the associationnof demographic variables with the summary index.nResults: In total, 116 872 patients were sent questionnaires, but 3399 proved to be ineligible for the survey.nResponses were gained from 84 310 (74.3% of eligible respondents). Age and sex were most strongly associated withnreported patients’ experiences. However, the actual impact of age and sex on patients’ experience is small, accountingnfor less than 3% of the variance. The proportion of the variance that was accounted for by the hospital trust in whichnpatients were treated was only 5%.nConclusions: Demographic characteristics do not appear to account for differences between hospital trusts innpatients’ experience of health care. However, there is considerable variation in patients’ experience within eachnprovider. This would suggest that summary indices of patients’ experience should not be used to rank providers,nalthough detailed information from patient surveys have a useful role in determining priorities for qualitynimprovement within individual hospitals and for assessing changes over time.
