Picker Patient Experience Questionnaire

The Picker Patient Experience Questionnaire is a comprehensive, validated instrument developed by the Picker Institute to measure the quality of the patient experience across multiple dimensions of healthcare delivery. Administered post-discharge or post-encounter, it assesses ten domains of patient-centered care: respect and dignity, information and communication, emotional support, involvement in decisions, continuity of care, coordination, access, physical comfort, emotional needs, and overall experience. The Picker questionnaire has become a standard measure in health systems internationally for evaluating and improving patient experience and has been used extensively in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
