Majority of patients were highly satisfied (i.e. scored 5/5) with their preadmission visit (79.5%), admission on the ward (84.5%), operating room experience (96.4%), nursing care (83.9), medical care (87.5%) information received (75.0%) and autonomy (79.8%) in making decision on their medical care. Only 61.9% of patients scored 5/5 on their discharge and after care experience (e.g. information provided on further treatment, transfer of information to external professional such as general practitioners and the discharge procedure).
