Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Satisfaction with Whole Health Bundle and Components

  A survey will be sent to selected patients discharged from the respective implementation units during the 1-2 months prior to implementation and to all participants in the intervention during the 1-2 month implementation period. Questions will assess if patients were offered any of the Whole Health elements and their satisfaction with those offerings. Satisfaction with each element will be assessed on a 5 point Likert scale from 1 to 5, with 1 being very dissatisfied and 5 being very satisfied

  1-2 weeks post discharge

• General Patient Satisfaction

  A survey will be sent to selected patients discharged from the respective implementation units during the 1-2 months prior to implementation and to all participants in the intervention during the 1-2 month implementation period. Questions will assess overall patient satisfaction with their hospital stay. The primary measure of satisfaction will be scored on a scale of 0 to 10, where 0 is the worst hospital possible and 10 is the best hospital possible. Questions will also be asked about the care provided by their physicians and nurses while in the hospital and if the patient would recommend this hospital to friends and family.

  1-2 weeks post discharge

• Satisfaction with Physical Hospital Environment

  A survey will be sent to selected patients discharged from the respective implementation units during the 1-2 months prior to implementation and to all participants in the intervention during the 1-2 month implementation period. Questions will ask about the patient's satisfaction with various aspects of the physical hospital environment using a scale of 1 - Very dissatisfied to 5- Very satisfied.

  1-2 weeks post discharge

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Length of Stay

  4 months (2 months of pre-intervention data and 2 months of intervention data)

• Hospital Readmissions

  4 months (2 months of pre-intervention data and 2 months of intervention data)
