  2. Uses of Patient Surveys • Patient feedback • Quality measures across healthcare • Compare providers, services • Examine performance over time • Identify priorities for quality improvement

  3. Other uses of Patient Surveys • Co-ordinate with other patient feedback eg PALS, complaints, qualitative work • Integrate with other data eg PROMS, clinical data • Link to staff feedback • Communicate positive messages

  4. Results are used nationally: Results are used locally by hospitals to: • Monitor their own performance over time • Compare their results with similar organisations • Inform local improvement activities and measure the impact of these activities on the patient experience. • to feed into the annual health check • to monitor progress against national targets • in relevant service reviews and investigations • to inform the public Used by SHAs to monitor & manage performance of trusts within their region & PCTs for commissioning purposes

  5. Problems With Rating (Satisfaction) Questions • Yield positive results, which do not reflect reported experience • Do not discriminate well between countries, hospitals, units • Do not help to identify causes of dissatisfaction or priorities for quality improvement

  6. Identifying areas for improvement Use relevant survey results to prioritise areas for improvement Consider: • Themes/aspects of patient journey eg admissions process • Domains of care eg interaction with staff • Benchmarking • Areas with most potential for improvement • Historical data • Issues of most importance to patients • Link with other initiatives, data
