Improving patient reported experience in inpatients with palliative care needs: a pre-post quality improvement study
Implementation of the LEAP bundle led to improved palliative care experience within three wards in one large tertiary hospital setting. Listening to patients and empowering clinical teams to collectively reflect on data and lead change was crucial to study success and required skilled facilitation. Testing the sustainability, transferability and scalability of the intervention will be important next steps.
