Introduction of a Surgical Navigator in the Perioperative Process Improves Patient Satisfaction.
Journal of Patient Experience 2017 March
BACKGROUND: Patients who had received surgical services at Bellin Hospital reported anxiety with the surgical flow. This study tested the hypothesis that the introduction of a surgical navigator, someone who guided the patient and their accompanying others throughout the surgical process, would improve patient satisfaction.
METHODS: Ambulatory surgical patients were randomized to control and study groups. The study group patients were assigned a surgical navigator. Prior to discharge from the hospital, patients were asked to complete a patient satisfaction survey.
RESULTS: The study group had significantly higher mean scores (P value ≤ 0.026), top box scores (P value ≤ 0.021), and positive comments.
CONCLUSION: The addition of a surgical navigator to the perioperative process significantly enhanced patient satisfaction in ambulatory surgical patients.
