Bastemeijer, C., Boosman, H., van Ewijk, H., et al (2019) Patient experiences: a systematic review of quality improvement interventions in a hospital setting. Patient Related Outcome Measures 10: 157-159 In the era of value-based healthcare, one strives for the most optimal outcomes and experiences from the perspective of the patient. So, patient experineces have become a key quality indicator for healthcare. While these are supposed to drive quality improvement (QI), their use and effectiveness for this purpose has been questioned. The aim of this systematic review was to provide insight into QI interventions used in a hospital setting and their effects on improviingpatient experiences, and possible barriers and promoters of QI work.

Moscrop, A., Ziebland, S., Roberts, N., Papanikitas, A (2019) A systematic review of reasons for and against asking patients about their socioeconomic contexts. International Journal of Equity in Health 18:112. This first summary of literature on the subject found manuy published reasons for why patients' social and economic circumstances should be enquired about in healthcare settings. These reasons include potential benefits at the levels of individuals, health service provision, and population,as well as the potential to improve healthcare equity. Cautions and caveats include concerns about the clinician's role in responding to paitents' social problems; the perceived importance of social health determinants compared with biomedical factors; the use of average population data from geographic areas to infer the socioeconomic experiences of individuals. Actual evidence of outcomes is lacking; our review suggests hypotheses that can be tested in future research.
