2009 Client Satisfaction Survey Highlights Andrew Koch, Data Support and Evaluation Coordinator Prepared October 2009
Background • A Client Satisfaction Survey is normally conducted annually (was not done in 2008) • Building Healthy Organizations (BHO)requires that a minimum of 100 clients be surveyed or interviewed at least once every two years. • The survey must cover these core categories: • accessibility, staff communication, quality, impact, and overall satisfaction with programs and services.
Background • The survey instrument used in previous years was based on questions recommended by BHO • The clinical directors for Toronto CHCs recently agreed to a set of core questions that all CHCs will include in their surveys (for comparison)
Method • Survey revised based on recommendations from past reports, research and staff input • Survey translated into 5 languages • Available at all 3 offices (table set up at 340 College) for 3-week period (July-Aug) • ‘Convenience sample’ (not randomly selected) • Analysis in progress
Respondents • 194 responses, mostly at 340 College St. • Average age=37 (range: 16-83 ) • Mix of newer and long-term clients • Different immigration statuses represented
Summary • Overall ratings are positive–most categories >80% • Few major concerns identified • Some clients expressed concerns re. waiting time for appointments • Many clients not aware of rights/responsibilities and suggestion/complaints process • Some room for improvement re. cultural sensitivity? • Settlement clients not well represented in sample
Next Steps • Further analysis of data for key questions • e.g., subgroup comparisons, open-ended responses • Share preliminary results with front-line staff • Develop recommendations • Share selected findings with clients • Compare benchmark questions with other CHCs • Write final report
