80 per cent of patients satisfied with acute hospital experience in the Mid West, national survey finds Over 1,150 patients across the Mid West have provided rich and detailed feedback on their experience in hospital which is already being used to drive improvements in quality. The results of the sixth National Inpatient Experience Survey (NIES) have found that the majority of respondents, 80% of patients, across the six acute hospitals in HSE Mid West described their overall experience as good or very good. Compared to 2022 results of this survey, the 2024 results show an improvement in patient satisfaction rate, particularly regarding areas such as pain management which had received lower scores in previous surveys. Patients were asked, in 52 detailed questions, about their experiences of the care they received from admission through to care on the ward, care during examinations, diagnosis and treatment, discharge / transfer and perceived patient safety. This year was the first time patients were asked about patient safety and the responses to these questions were amongst the highest scoring with most participants feeling confident in the safety and treatment of their care. The survey also assigned an overall rating of hospital experience, with a national average of 8.3 out of 10 in 2024. University Hospital Limerick achieved a rating of 7.7 out of 10; Nenagh 9.1 out of 10, Ennis 9 out of 10, St John’s 8.3 out of 10 and Croom Orthopaedic Hospital 8.9 out of 10.
