The Auto-generated Patient Discharge Summary: A Single Centre Pilot Project for Standardization of Information during Care Transitions

ments at the end. In order to maximize patient engagement, the prototype was also reviewed with a patient group to help evaluate its content and to validate the design process. A final element of the project involves the creation of a provincial database for result storage, access, and future analysis. Results/Benefits/Challenges: Establishing a standardized satisfaction survey has great benefit to enhance patient engagement whereby patients have the opportunity to shape the future radiation therapy experience. The main challenge of this initiative is the stakeholders consultation because it involves processes both internal and external to the agency. Moreover, the survey prototype needs to report outcomes that align with the performance indicator as required by the BC Ministry of Health. Conclusion/Impact/Outcomes: The new, simplified and standardized survey will not only be a vital component in the evaluation of radiation therapy services, but can also improve survey collection rates and identify any potential gaps in the care delivery. Furthermore, qualitative information collected from the standardized survey will be used as a part of the quality improvement indicators to continuously enhance the BCCA’s radiation therapy services.
