Your help needed for patient advisory committee!
Hello all! I am working on a patient advisory group to improve hernia care by including patient perspectives and expectations. I would love to hear from everyone about how your expectations for hernia surgery differed from the reality of your hernia repair. Also, what factors a patient considers when deciding to have surgery and if afterward, the surgery is deemed a success. I know that different outcome measures exist for doctor vs patient when it come to considering the hernia surgery a success! This is important information for physicians and may help with discussions before surgery and follow up care after. The ACHQC is looking to provide more information for doctors and patients so that expectations from both, patient and physician are better aligned. Any input you provide is appreciated. I will keep you up to date!
