Introduction of a novel patient safety advisory: evaluation of perceived information with a modified QPP questionnaire-a case-control study.
Patient engagement in health care can support detection of adverse events and delivery of safe care. This study assessed whether an illustrated educational pamphlet (in addition to verbal information) about patient safety risks for inpatients improved engagement in their care and reduced risk of adverse events. Patients who received both the illustrated pamphlet and verbal information reported significantly better perceptions of their care compared with patients who only received verbal information.
