Systematic Review of Patient Preferences and Experiences Regarding Dietetic Outpatient Care.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Dietitians play a crucial role in delivering medical nutrition therapy in outpatient settings where overnight admission of patients is not required. Despite the increasing focus on value-based healthcare and patient-reported measures (PRMs), there have been no recent reports synthesising patient experiences of dietetic outpatient care. This study aims to synthesise existing literature on patient preferences and experiences of outpatient dietetic care and to provide updated guidance for dietitians to improve patient-centred care.

Methods

A qualitative systematic review with meta-ethnography was conducted. The review included studies that reported patient experiences of dietetic care provided at outpatient settings detailed through focus groups, interviews, survey
