Aims: To examine patients' perceptions of care quality following a same-day procedure in the cardiac catheterization laboratory and understand the extent to which they were prepared for discharge. Design: Single-centre, mixed-methods study. Methods: Postdischarge, online survey of patients who underwent a same-day procedure in the cardiac catheterization laboratory (n = 150) and one-on-one interviews with 13 of these patients. Results: Survey responses were positive with mean scores between 4.39–4.83 out of five and 63.3% of respondents (n = 95) extremely likely to recommend the service to others. Interview data analysis identified three themes: the care experience, information and education for safe discharge, and follow-up needs. Participants spoke highly of their interactions with clinicians and were satisfied with their care experience. Mode and content of information delivered varied, with some participants lacking guidance about postdischarge health management and clarity about follow-up plans. Patient or public contribution: Participants were patients.
