Patient experience rating
Cabrini Health’s Patient Experience Rating is published quarterly and based on survey results collected from our patients, their family members and carers who have entered our inpatient health service. The survey focuses on the following key areas of care:
Communication – you and your family and/or carer will be:
- Listened to
- Treated with respect and compassion
- Receive information in a way that you can understand
Personalised Holistic Care – you will receive care that is:
- Safe and effective
- Meets your individual needs
- You will be included in making decisions about your treatment and care as much as you would like to be
Pain control/Medication – you are asked about your comfort and informed about the medicines you are taking.
Environment – the physical environment promotes healing, is clean, safe and allows for privacy.
Discharge Planning – you and your family and/or carer will be included in preparing and planning for your health care needs when going home in accordance with your wishes.
Discharge information – you will be provided with information you understand to empower you to manage your own health when leaving our service.
How do we collect patient feedback?
Upon discharge from our hospitals and health facilities, we invite each patient to provide us with their feedback about their Cabrini experience.
The responses are tallied and grouped into ten domains of care. The overall rating represents the average of these satisfaction scores and published on our Patients and Families page at the end of each quarter.
