Impact Assessment of Patient Experience Capacity-Building Program Using Kirkpatrick Model for Program Evaluation at a Regional Healthcare System.

Introduction: The patient experience (PX) is central to improving the quality of healthcare services. We launched a PX capacity- and capability-building program at the Armed Forces Hospitals Taif Region, which is integral to our regional healthcare cluster transformation plans and is an initial step toward developing a culture of improvement in human experience in healthcare.

Methods: A multidisciplinary PX committee recruited five frontline interprofessional PX heads, one from each of our regional healthcare hospitals.

Leveraging an Experience-Based Codesign Approach to Improve the Inpatient Food Service Experience.

Introduction: Hospital food service is a key patient experience domain in an inpatient setting, which also plays an important role in responding to clinical and nutritional needs by providing food that is acceptable to patients. To achieve the strategic objective of a "distinguished patient experience," a Food Service Patient Experience Improvement Project was implemented at Al Hada Armed Forces Hospital during the second quarter of 2021 (Q2-2021) to improve the patient experience of meals at inpatient units.

Methods: A quasi-experimental study design was used to assess the improvements in the inpatient meal experience by implementing an experience-based codesign approach.

Multi-modal medical image classification using deep residual network and genetic algorithm.

Artificial intelligence (AI) development across the health sector has recently been the most crucial. Early medical information, identification, diagnosis, classification, then analysis, along with viable remedies, are always beneficial developments. Precise and consistent image classification has critical in diagnosing and tactical decisions for healthcare.

Improving Emergency Department Patient Experience Through an Organizational Values-Aligned Standardized Behavioral Model.

Introduction: Patient experience in the setting of the emergency department (ED) is an area of strategic priority forall healthcare facilities. Patient experience can be affected by several factors that encompass the cultural, behavioral, and psychological domains of the healthcare organization. Al Hada Armed Forces Hospital, in its efforts to achieve the strategic objectives of continuously improving the patient experience at scale, implemented an ED-basedbehavioral model of service behaviors that was adapted to match the local community needs and practiced by the frontline healthcare staff at the ED during Q2-2021.

Improving patient experience by implementing an organisational culture model.

A satisfactory patient care culture model can help improve most patients' quality of care in a hospital. This study aims to improve patients' experiences (PX) by implementing a culture model at King Abdul-Aziz Armed Forces Hospital in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. To achieve the research aim, a set of interventions were implemented that included a patient and family advisory council, empathy training, recognition of the PX, leadership-patient interviews, PX champions and quality improvement.

A Case Report and Literature Review of Rectosigmoid Crohn's Disease: A Diagnostic Pitfall Ultimately Leading to Spontaneous Colonic Perforation.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition that affects the gastrointestinal tract, with ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) as the two major entities. While these conditions share some similarities in clinical presentation, they have distinct histopathological features. UC is a mucosal disease affecting the left colon and rectum, while CD can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract and all layers of the bowel wall.

The Effect of Standardized Hospitalist Information Cards on the Patient Experience: a Quasi-Experimental Prospective Cohort Study.

Background: Communication with clinicians is an important component of a hospitalized patient's experience.

Objective: To test the impact of standardized hospitalist information cards on the patient experience.

Design: Quasi-experimental study in a U.

Patient and Family Engagement During Challenging Times: What Works and What Does Not?

A paradigm shift towards enhanced strategies to effectively engage patients and families in delivering safe and high-quality healthcare services was observed during recent times, particularly in the last decade. Immediately prior to the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic, the tri-institutional global healthcare quality reports from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, World Bank Group, and Lancet Global Health Commission reported the patient and family engagement measures used globally, highlighting the variations across the regions of the world. Through a pandemic for more than a year now, we aim to present the key lessons learned from practices and strategies to proactively engage patients and families.

Urinary Incontinence in Older Adults Takes Collaborative Nursing Efforts to Improve.

There is a misconception that urinary incontinence (UI) in older adults, usually above the age of 65 is a part of aging. More than 50% of residents in long-term care (LTC) settings are affected by UI and it is associated in many cases with markedly reduced quality of life. It has become evident that incontinence can be cured or successfully managed.

Patient Engagement and Patient Safety: Are We Missing the Patient in the Center?

The global healthcare delivery paradigm shift calls for enhanced strategies to engage patients in delivering safer and high-quality healthcare. There still exists a gap area in a globally accepted measure for the person-centered care. Recent tri-institutional global quality reports from National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NAESM), World Bank Group, and Lancet Global Health Commission attempted to report the patient engagement measures used globally.

Central and peripheral nervous system involvement in neuromelioidosis.

We report a case of a 33-year-old Sri Lankan man who presented with flaccid quadriparesis with brainstem signs and acute motor axonal polyneuropathy. MRI of the brain showed multiple abscesses with ring enhancement seen predominantly in the brainstem and upper cervical cord. The patient was initially treated with intravenous immunoglobulin, considering this to be a form of Guillain-Barré syndrome.
