Title: UK IBD audit 3rd round
1UK IBD audit 3rd round
- Inpatient experience questionnaire
2Participation in round 3
- Inpatient experience questionnaire report follows
the - national organisational audit reports (May 2011)
- national clinical audit reports (February 2012)
- For each complete audited admission entered to
the UK IBD audit web tool, a questionnaire was
generated that was sent to the patient - The questionnaire was returned to the RCP or
entered directly on to the audit web tool by the
patient, to ensure confidentiality
3Inpatient questionnaire responses
- Inpatient questionnaires were received from one
third of adults and paediatrics included in the
inpatient care aspect of the audit - - The total number of cases entered into the
audit 6689 - - The response rate for adult patients 33.7
- - The response rate for paediatric patients
32.2 - The full results are presented for the UK overall
and divided into adults and paediatrics where
possible
4Key findings
- One in ten adults rated their overall inpatient
care as fair or poor - No paediatric patients rated their care as poor,
6.7 rated it as fair - For both adults and children with IBD, overall
care satisfaction correlated most strongly with
their rating of how well doctors and nurses
worked together

5Key findings continued
- IBD patients appeared to give relatively poorer
rating for consistency, coordination of care and
nursing care - The bars in the graph above show the range of
Trust-level scores for each sub-domain using the
National Inpatient Survey results for 2010. The
red region shows the scores of the lowest 20 of
trusts, the orange region is for the middle 60
and the green region represents the top 20 of
trusts. The mean score, and 95 confidence
intervals, for IBD patients are shown as the
black marker.
6Key findings continued
- Hospital food was rated as poor by one in five
adults and one in ten children. - At least one in ten of all IBD patients reported
that the food provided was not enough - Over half of adults and a quarter of children
reported receiving no visit from a dietician - Eight out of ten IBD patients experienced some
pain during their inpatient stay - Around a quarter reported being in pain all or
most of the time - More than one in ten IBD patients rated their
analgesic medication as not enough - At least one in ten patients reported sub-optimal
aspects of discharge information such as lack of
information about drug side effects, the danger
signs to watch for or how to manage their
condition after going home

11Key recommendations
- All admitted IBD patients should receive input
from specialist multidisciplinary teams - Local IBD teams should consider whether the
general nursing staff has sufficient awareness
and knowledge of IBD and initiate appropriate
educational interventions and care pathways to
support high quality nursing - All hospitalised patients with active IBD require
routine documentation of nutritional intake,
weight measurement and dietetic review - Ward medical and nursing teams should review
their local policies and current practice with
regard to the frequency and effectiveness of pain
assessment and provision of analgesia - Discharge policies for IBD patients require local
review to ensure that patients receive good
quality pre-discharge information regarding
medication, self-care and follow-up plans
