How do patient feedback systems work in low-income and middle-income countries? Insights from a realist evaluation in Bangladesh by Rumana Huque, Bassey Ebenso, Sumit Kane, Zunayed Al Azdi, Ayesha Afroz Chowdhury

“…In stage 2, we iteratively tested and refined this initial theory, through analysing data and grounding emerging findings within substantive theories and empirical literature, to arrive at a refined PT.Results Multiple patient feedback systems operate in Bangladesh, essentially comprising stages of collection, analysis and actions on feedback. Key contextual enablers include political commitment to accountability, whereas key constraints include limited patient awareness of feedback channels, lack of guidelines and documented processes, local political dynamics and priorities, institutional hierarchies and accountability relationships. …”
