Patient experience, satisfaction, perception and expectation of osteopathic manipulative treatment: A systematic review

Patient experience, satisfaction, perception and expectation are some related measures valued by patient-centered health care. Patient experience (PE) usually refers to objective, observable events or facts; while patient satisfaction, perception and expectation (PS) are measures which focus on a patient's subjective evaluation of the health care process. These concepts have been studied in osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), a therapeutic intervention practiced by osteopathic practitioners in many countries and by some medical doctors in USA and Canada.
