Abstract:
Following an initial trial of a basic patient diary, the concept was taken to the next level with further testing with colleagues and patients, to create an improved version which has become embedded into the culture of our ITUs. Key wins include a foreword from a well renowned children’s author (Michael Rosen), updated design with support from the Improvement Hub and our graphics team, and a training video alongside documented standard work. As a result, feedback has been very positive and is now well embedded into our daily work within both ITUs across SaTH.
