The challenge lies in converting patient-reported experience data into actionable knowledge for quality improvement. This study aims to investigate the use of patient-reported data as knowledge base for actions and to identify and map actions derived from the use of patient-experience data within two Italian regional healthcare systems. Patient Experience Data are systematically collected in both systems, providing real-time updates accessible by professionals and managers through web-based reporting systems and including a collaborative network among practitioners. A sequential exploratory mixed-method study was carried out in several qualitative and quantitative phases. In the first phase, a qualitative method was conducted to discuss the actionability of patient-reported data and to design a tool for collecting the improvement actions based on these data. In the second phase, a quali-quantitative survey was performed to explore the professionals' use of patient-reported information and the types of actions implemented. Finally, a workshop was held to discuss, interpret and validate the results. The initial workshop identified key dimensions for improvement initiatives. After design and distribution of survey, a total of 189 responses was collected, respectively 96 from Region A and 93 from Region B. Both regions ensured widespread use of patient-reported data (89%). The establishment of a collaborative network seemed to reduce the learning curve in using patient-reported data and fostered a culture of using patient feedback effectively. The results reveal a difference between the two regions, with a more extensive patient-reported data use in Region A, attributed to its systematic joining the PREMs Observatory, prior experiences with patient-feedback collection and use, and patient-experience indicators integrated into the performance evaluation system. Regarding practices of data use, four themes emerged, namely, internal actions addressed to hospital staff (35.9%), external actions addressed to users (18.6%), comfort and hospitality aspects (34.7%) and review of processes and procedures (10.8%). The study highlights the importance of effectively using patient-reported data to achieve organisational goals, by combining different managerial strategies. It demonstrates how professionals use such data for improvement actions and underscores the significance of various forms of knowledge dissemination and sharing.

Therefore, effectively leveraging user feedback can drive quality improvement (QI) activities, transformative service redesigns, and the creation and evaluation of new healthcare services, programs, or policies.

Additionally, the manual procedure limits the data collection efforts to fewer patients, thus resulting in a less representative sample. A digital and automated procedure for collecting and visualising patient experience data can relieve healthcare staff and allow more patients to share their experiences. At Karolinska University Hospital, a multi-disciplinary project to develop the automated PREM process—from data collection to visualisation—has been undertaken. As a result, there are about 25,000 digital questionnaires distributed per month with the response rate of approximately 35%–40%. This is an equivalent of about 9000 completed questionnaires per month to be compared to less than 1000 responses per month received during the manual process used before 2021. The large amount of patient experience data is analysed and made accessible to the hospital management and staff. To increase the transparency, part of the collected data is visualised at Karolinska's external website. Furthermore, hospital staff is relieved from all survey administration.

In a country with a universal and comprehensive healthcare system, ensuring equitable geographical distribution of healthcare professionals is crucial for the effectiveness and equity of the health system. The analysis uses data from the NHS payroll system (RHV), covering the period from 2017 to 2023, and focuses on active medical workers, including those on duty and retired but still in service, distributed among the five Regional Health Administrations that then existed. The analysis is based on Full-Time Equivalents to provide a more realistic picture of the healthcare workforce. Population data comes from the official source. The Dissimilarity Index is used to measure regional disparities, focusing on the medical workforce (specialist doctors). The study aims to identify disparities in the distribution of these healthcare professionals throughout the five regions within the NHS and inform evidence-based policies to address such inequalities in resource allocation of the healthcare workforce. The findings reveal that while the overall density of NHS healthcare workers per 1000 inhabitants grew, and global disparities in the allocation of NHS workers slightly diminished, some regional disparities have worsened, as it was the case of the distribution of specialist doctors among the territory. The Dissimilarity Index indicates increasing inequality among the allocation of the medical workforce in the national territory, with statistically significant growth in disparity over time.
