Patient Experience
By continually monitoring patient experience, via our surveys and other feedback, we can provide better services and care tailored to our patients' needs and expectations.
In accordance with the National Safety and Quality Health Service Standard 2: Partnering with Consumers, the contents of this page have been reviewed by Healthe Care Australia Consumer Advisory Committees at Healthe Care Hospitals.
We encourage all of our patients to engage with their care providers and voice any concerns arising during your stay with us, so any issues may be resolved as soon as possible. See our Patient Feedback page.
We also engage an independent company to carry out a Patient Reported Experience Measures (PREMS) Survey for the majority of patients 10 – 15 days post discharge. This survey is conducted electronically, or in hard copy (in some circumstances).
