Dear Mrs Yeo

Please find enclosed your report outlining your patient feedback from the Practice Accreditation and Improvement survey (PAIS). The results have been illustrated in tables and charts with associated benchmarks, based on feedback given by 513,024 patients to 4,347 Australian general practices. Supporting documents have been provided to help you in the interpretation and understanding of your results.

These results will reflect Criterion 2.1.2 Indicator C.

The format of this highly comprehensive report has been updated, which we hope will provide you with a clearer picture of performance. It is worth spending time to assimilate the detail to obtain the best understanding of your patient feedback.

An Action Plan is included in your Report. Should you wish to use this Action Plan it may guide you in assisting to satisfy Criterion 2.1.2 Indicator D. A "Certificate of Completion" with a Practice Improvement Plan for your practice has also been issued with this Report. This may be of support to you in demonstrating Criterion 2.1.2 Indicator E. We value your feedback and would be grateful for a copy of your Action Plan to help us to develop our high standards and to continue our ongoing commitment to quality improvement.

The data in your report is entirely confidential to your practice. Your anonymised data will be aggregated with data from all other participating practices, and may be used in the generation of national performance benchmarks and contribute to scientific literature regarding the on-going development of standards.

Please contact our staff on 07 3855 2093 or [email protected] if you require further information about your report. We hope that you find the results and feedback a good basis for reflection and that they provide a useful foundation to inform future quality improvements to your practice.

Your patient comments

From the free text component of the questionnaire.

All comments have been included in their entirety but details which could identify a specific practitioner, practice or patient have been removed to ensure anonymity.

Any comments about how this doctor and/or practice could improve its service?

• Being more able to see your doctor of choice would be good. Long unavailability of doctors not good. Hard having to continually re-establish good relationships with new doctors.

• There are a few doctors with greater skills knowledge than others. A few doctors seen are not adequate in being able to assist with why attending.

• Get rid of the white computer to check in. Patients actually like to speak with reception staff.

• Minimal staff turn overs (doctors).

• A certain doctor was rude.

• It's all very good for me.

• Sometimes it is hard when appointment is running late but to me this means the doctors are thorough. This is more important to me as I would rather the doctors run late and be thorough than just push us in and rush us out.

• I did use the automatic check in machine in my last visit and it didn't work, so I waited for a long time.

• Nil needed.

• Staff are excellent.

• The only way they can improve their service is to keep doing what they're doing.

• Speak louder for elderly patients.

• Remove check in machine.

• Two staff members are all good.

• I am very impressed with the personal care that is taken in all aspects.

• Been coming here for years and would not come back if I was not satisfied. I think one thing I note about the GPs I see is complacency never assume that patient is going to be ok after years of service.

• It is hard to get an appointment with my doctor early.

• They do just great work!

• You are all an excellent team; and play an important part in the ongoing family health care. It has been a very distressing year for the family and you all have played an important roll in helping us get through - with gratitude.

• I've never been able to fault the staff here over years.

• Very happy with my doctor and service.

• I think the practice is very well run and professional.

• I feel the clinic is doing a good job.

• Replicate the practice in more suburbs!

• Availability of appoinmtnet time for unexpected illness.

• Stay as good as you have always been and are we're fortunate to have your TLC.

• Everything is first rate. I am most satisfied at this clinic.

• They don't need to improve - they are excellent already.

• I have no complaints.

• Lose the TV.

• Extended hours, weekend or after hours.

• Remove check in machine.

The score provided for each question in this questionnaire is the mean (average) value of all of the ratings from all clients who completed the question. It is expressed as a percentage - so the best possible score is 100%.Non-rated responses (Don't know/blank/spoilt) are not used in the score calculations. (A blank response is where a client did not respond to the question and a spoilt response is where more than one tick box option was chosen or the questionnaire was defaced).

In statistics a quartile is any one of the three values that divide data into four equal parts, each part represents ¼ of the sampled population.

Quartiles comprise: Lower quartile, below which lies the lowest 25% of the data. The median, cuts the data set in half and around which lies the middle 50% of the data. Upper quartile, above which lies the top 25% of the data

Introduction

Although understandable, given workload pressures on general practices, it would be a missed opportunity to view the patient survey as a tick box exercise and one that represents the total patient involvement in the practice. Greater patient engagement in healthcare means having an ongoing relationship and dialogue with patients and welcoming patients as partners in making improvements to services.

Involving patients, via systematic feedback and further discussions, can lead to tangible differences in the quality of the health care experience. Such differences could give you a competitive advantage, as well as within the context of the wider primary care ‘market place’.

Using the survey to improve patient relations

It is recommended that the practice provides feedback to the people who found the time to give their opinions about the service (Criterion 2.1.2E).

There are a variety of ways in which the results of the patient survey can be shared with patients. These include:

• Producing simple posters for displaying in the practice.• Producing a single sheet of A4 summarising the results and placing it on the notice board.• Publication of an ‘easy to read’ one-off newsletter available in the practice for patients to take

away. This would include ‘headline findings’ and could act as an invitation for anyone wishing to work with the practice to implement any changes resulting from the survey.

• Publication of the results of the survey on your website, if you have one. This can also have provision to ask for further feedback and ideas about changes.

• A one-off meeting to explain the findings to an invited group of patients.• Setting up a group, including practice staff and patients, to discuss the results and agree

methods of communicating results to other patients. This ‘critical friends group’ could develop an ongoing action plan to implement changes.

Using the survey to improve your own practice

Just doing the survey does not in itself bring about future improvement in scores. Rather, such improvement occurs only when there is a concerted effort by practice staff to put into action strategies which are targeted at specific areas in need of change.

The survey can act as a baseline measurement, which in subsequent years can be used to show whether improvements have been made.

Using the survey to develop services

Comments received in response to the survey - and possibly followed up with a ‘critical friends group’ - may give you ideas for new services that you may wish to provide.

Adding Value to the Survey

The following questions are designed to help the practice staff reflect on the results of the patient survey, and to think about things they may do differently as part of continuous quality improvement.

Don’t rush to conclusions or actions. A dedicated team meeting is a good way to provide all staff with an opportunity to reflect on the results, and discuss findings that are particularly interesting or confirm things you suspected.

We would encourage you to develop a clear action plan by responding to the questions below.

Look at your mean percentage score for each question (found on page 2), your domain scores (found on page4), and compare your scores to the national benchmarks.

In addition, review your written patient comments.

1. Which are the areas where the practice is performing strongly? Are you pleased with these scores and why?
