At Eastern Health, putting ourselves
‘In the Patient’s Shoes’
means actively seeking and responding to feedback from people that use our service
In the Patient’s Shoes
Collection of data using a handheld devise asking 5 questions and PETs provide near real time insight into patient experiences.
Patient Experience Trackers (PETs)
Patients are surveyed once a month in most services across the organisation using ‘audit angels’ to measure compliance with our Patient and Family Centred Care Standard.
Eastern Health Patient Experience Survey
The Department of Health and Human Services conduct 5 surveys: Adult Inpatient, Emergency Department (ED), Maternity, Paediatric Inpatient and Paediatric ED. Reports are provided quarterly.
Victorian Healthcare Experience Survey (VHES)
A range of ways to provide specific feedback include:
Complaints and Compliments
Patient stories are captured and shared in a variety of ways:
Leadership Walkrounds
Walkrounds involving discussion with current patients are conducted by senior leaders and managers across the organisation.
‘Patient Opinion’
An online public platform that enables people to safely and easily share their experience. The organisation is able to demonstrate how patient experience is used to improve services.
Discharge Phone Calls
Routine phone survey of discharged patients inviting feedback regarding their experience.
Patient Stories
Patient Experience Feedback
Volunteers act as ‘Mystery Shoppers’- make
their experience.
Mystery Shopper
These are also known as workshops or focus groups and provide an opportunity to hear the consumer perspective regarding a specific topic
Consumer Forums
Consumers work with Eastern Health staff collaboratively and objectively to evaluate a process, determine a future state and identify solutions to achieve the future state in a way that will meet patients’ needs and expectations.
Rapid Improvement Events
Consumer Perspective Patient Survey
The Family and Friends Test Score is a widely used strategy in the UK and is based on feedback to one question – “On a scale of 0 – 10, how likely is it that you would recommend this service to a family member or friend?” We ask this question as part of our Patient Experience Feedback processes and Patient Surveys.
All feedback about the patient experience is themed against the Eastern Health Patient Experience of Care Principles.
In the Patient’s Shoes
Using a feedback framework to inform service improvement and create a GREAT patient experience.
Observing patients and families during various stages of their care journey to help us to gain an understanding of what the experience is like from the patient and family’s point of view.
