Single Patient Room and Communication • The privacy that a single patient room provides, enables patients to communicate more freely with physicians and nurses about history and current state because there are no other patients or staff present • According to Press Ganey’s national data in 2003, patients were 4.5% more satisfied with their privacy in a single room than in a double room • Staff feel it is more appropriate for maintaining the confidentiality of patient exams • Single patient rooms facilitate the communication that takes place between patients, family members and hospital staff, which is vital to patient satisfaction with care and family involvement in care • In a study done by Kaldenburg in 1999, results showed that spaces that are private and peaceful improved communication within the room, and staff is more reluctant to share patient information with the patient when another patient is in the room. (Ulrich, 2008). “According to the data obtained from 2,359,935 patients nationally in 2006, the five top-priority issues that patients identified as affecting satisfaction are associated with communication and empathy, including (1) response to concerns/complaints made during the hospital stay… (5) how well the nurses kept you informed” (Ulrich, 2008). 36
Single Patient Room and Staff Efficiency Studies have shown that staff efficiency improves when working in hospitals with a majority of single patient rooms. • Staff report fewer patient transfers in single patient rooms • Nurses report that patients require less medication in single patient rooms • 53% of staff members report overall improved efficiency in single patient rooms • 30% of staff did not view the single occupancy room as requiring a great deal more of walking (Chaundry, 2003). (Chaundry, 2003). 37
