Collecting Patient Feedback as a Means of Monitoring Patient Experience and Hospital Service Quality - Learning from a Government-led Initiative.
Patient feedback plays a significant role in hospital service improvement. However, how to encourage patient feedback that can guide hospital service improvement is still being explored. By examining patient feedback data related to a tertiary hospital in China that was collected from the "12345" Government Service Convenience Hotline (GSCH), the paper discusses the learnings from GSCH in encouraging patient feedback and how quality improvement initiatives have effected the number and types of complaints made by patients and their families via GSCH. ⋯ A unified, transparent, and impartial GSCH platform greatly encourages feedback from patients and families. Feedbacks provide evidence to guide health care organizations in improving the overall experience of patients and the quality of services that they provide.

Sickle Cell Disease Knowledge and Reproductive Decisions: A Saudi Cross-Sectional Study.
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an autosomal recessive disorder. Decisions following premarital screening results might be influenced by several factors. Thus, this study aims to assess the knowledge and beliefs toward SCD and reproductive decisions. ⋯ SCD is an inherited disease with economic, physical, and psychological burdens. However, curative options are costly, and hence, prevention is key. Therefore, healthcare decision-makers should consider implementing policies to minimize the financial burden that may still affect society despite the availability of free medical care. This study warrants extensive community-based education programs that may contribute toward cost savings. It also highlights the importance of premarital counselling for disease and carrier people including alternative reproduction options.
