SPAN@DEM (SingHealth Patient Advocacy Network @ Department of Emergency Medicine)—A Pioneer in Emergency Department-Specific Patient Advocacy: Development Study
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Background: Launched in January 2022, the SingHealth Patient Advocacy Network at the Department of Emergency Medicine (SPAN@DEM) represents the first emergency department-specific advocacy group in Singapore. This initiative marks a significant advancement in local patient advocacy efforts because it employs a shared collaborative model to address the needs and concerns of patients within the unique context of the emergency department environment. SPAN@DEM emerged in recognition of the limitations of existing cluster-level advocacy groups, which are inadequate to address specific challenges inherent to the fast-paced, high-pressure nature of the emergency department. Objective: In this article, we describe the establishment of SPAN@DEM, discuss the challenges and considerations encountered, and reflect on lessons gleaned through this journey. Methods: A start-up committee, comprising two emergency physicians and four patient advocates, was convened to delineate the processes required to form a new patient advocacy group. Key features of SPAN@DEM include co-leadership by an emergency physician and a patient advocate, and diverse membership composition with equal representation from health care professionals and patient advocates. SPAN@DEM convenes quarterly with informal luncheons during meetings to foster open communication between advocates and health care staff. Membership is voluntary and motivated solely by altruism, and all members are required to participate in mandatory advocacy training to empower them to provide more actionable insights. Results: Since its inception, SPAN@DEM has implemented several initiatives such as PIKACHU (Project to Improve next-of-Kin Advice, Communications and Helpful Updates)-a suite of quality improvement measures that resulted in improved patient and next-of-kin satisfaction rates and reduced formal communication-related complaints-and Digital FAQ-an online web-based resource designed to clarify emergency department processes for patients. SPAN@DEM advocates have also contributed to the planning, design, and transition to the new Emergency Medicine Building. More importantly, SPAN@DEM has fostered a cultural shift towards patient-centered care, with the department now routinely engaging patient advocates in decisions affecting patient and next-of-kin experience. Conclusions: SPAN@DEM exemplifies the value of specialized emergency department-specific advocacy groups in advancing patient-centered emergency care. This model may serve as an exemplar for other health care institutions seeking to enhance patient advocacy efforts.
