summarize this To optimize safety and quality in health care, understanding patient experiences is important. Patients undergoing procedures in the cardiac catheterization laboratory (CCL), who are admitted and discharged on the same day, have limited time to ask questions or receive education about the procedure and postdischarge care. There is a paucity of research exploring patient perceptions of care quality in the CCL context, including communication, education and preparation for discharge. Therefore, the aims of this study were to explore patients’ perceptions of care quality following a same‐day CCL procedure, and whether the discharge information and education provided prepared them for discharge following a same‐day CCL procedure.
