• survey processes and logistics of surveying – multichannel, internal & external surveys
• obtaining appropriate breadth of consumer input/feedback (including marginalized
populations e.g. rural, regional, indigenous and ethnic minority patients
• How to get clinicians and staff buy-in to measure
3. Help clinicians, staff, partners, health department policies and the ‘system’ become more
responsive to patient expectations
4
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
E3-4: Energy, Execution
1. Have a clear change process to lead a transformation of patient experience – high level strategies and
practical tactics

5. Identify how PX management helps improve the safety, quality and integrated care
6. Recognise the need for transparency, and how to achieve more transparency internally
7. Learn specific, innovative communication techniques engaging patients and family members (e.g. extracting
medical information or communicating technical details such as why they are having tests, procedures)
E5-6: Excellence, Evolution
1. Learn how to redefine success, obtain it and maintain results
2. Case studies of how other organisations have achieved better experience and health outcomes or other
benefits
3. Identify resources for patient experience research and practical tools and techniques that can be used
immediately
4. Identify where healthcare information is publically available for consumers
5
WHAT WE WILL NOT COVER TODAY:
1. Learn how to help patients engage and invest in their own health
2. How to improve specific healthcare processes e.g. appointment setting, discharge

PX AS DEFINED BY PATIENTS?
11
PX AS DEFINED BY PATIENTS?
“The Patient Experience is an experience unique to that individual.
We do not have to judge the experience.
But we can be instrumental in shaping it”
12
CONSUMER HEALTH PREFERENCES:WHAT DO THEY WANT (IN GENERAL TERMS)?
Ref: Ian Worden, MMD, MHI, Better patient engagement
13
AUSTRALIAN CHALLENGES WITH PX SURVEYS & CONSUMER ENGAGEMENT
1. Patient Surveys paper based or via telephone
2. Use multiple disparate survey databases, tools, etc.
3. Insights patchy, uncoordinated and lack strategic intelligence
4. State survey results take from 3 to 18 months to be received
5. Cumbersome reports or none from Ward to Board
6. Minimal engagement from ethnic minorities
7. Front line staff disengaged in the survey – outsourced research
8. Quantitative data shows where problem is, but not WHY – difficult fixing issues

INTERACTIVE EXERCISE
21
1. Methods for collecting data on the experience customers need and want across
the journey.
• Patient and Consumer Surveys e.g. NPS verbatim comments
• Focus groups
• 1-on-1 conversations with front line employees and management
• Call Centre Voice Recordings
• Customer E-mails – Complaints, Compliments and Comments
• Online conversations and ratings e.g. BHI, Patient Opinion, NIB Whitecoat
2. Understand the why from your qualitative data – get the real reason specific
expectations were unmet
CAPTURE DATA ON THE EXPERIENCE(S)
22
PATIENT EXPERIENCE SURVEYS
• Who to survey - patients, patient’s family, nurses, doctors, front-line staff,management
• How to design a PX survey: • start with the outcomes you want from the survey,
• base questions on patient journey touchpoints,
• use HCHAPS/Picker Institute as a guide,
• engage an expert/consultant to review survey design, methodology, questions, results
• What tools can I use to deliver the survey: • Resources as per above,
• Survey Monkey,
• Multi-channel survey platforms /mediums e.g. MES Experience
23
PATIENT EXPERIENCE SURVEYS
• What questions should you ask? • Determine the outcomes you want from the survey outputs
• Don’t just ask patients to rate on a few domains, ask about feelings,
• Ask about what actually happened to them during their care,
• Ensure open questions for qual info (can be far more useful than quant) e.g. what mattered most to you during this experience
• How frequent should it be done?• Depends on setting
• Measure what you can manage
• E.g. busy hospital wards - Daily gathering of feedback (realtime ideal)
• E.g. Community - Focus groups once or twice a year

INTERACTIVE EXERCISE
The survey results are in – what now?
45
Methods to get engagement (buy-in) from clinicians and staff to take action
Clearly communicate ‘What’s In It For Me’ (WIIFM) from their perspective, not
yours .e.g. Save time, save money, improve care, job satisfaction, fulfilment and
higher purpose (ikigai)
Get buy in from the start, even before you start the surveys and implement
improvements. Bring them on the journey
Appoint a PX leader for every team
Ensure they get outcomes daily or weekly at their unit meetings
Disseminate the right reports to the right stakeholders at the right time
Get staff to brainstorm solutions to their challenges
Celebrate small wins regularly, not just big ones

E5. EXCELLENCE - How do you monitor excellent results?
• Pick specific questions e.g. FFT or NPS as a overall benchmark
• But excellence starts at smallest unit level or by specific issue or by specific disease state or patient population
• Measure the most important score for your target patient population – ASK THEM what this is
e.g. Pain Scores for Chronic Pain or Cancer patients
e.g. Waiting Times for Emergency Departments
e.g. Bed Occupancy rate for private health facilities/hospitals

E5. EXCELLENCE – REPORTING
• The MOST important benchmark is to benchmark against your own patient population over time and show improvement
• Incorporate PX scores into overall quality and safety reporting
• Report from Ward to Board – note different report formats often required because different stakeholders group needs different insights to make decisions.
• Tell a clear story • Combine data with patient and staff stories or testimonials to illustrate your point
• Remember to use the positive data to motivate as well, don’t just focus on the negative!

“When our Patient Experience measures improved,
so did our Quality and Safety measures ”

E5. EXCELLENCE – QUALITY AND SAFETY

CASE STUDY – CLEVELAND CLINIC The Cleveland Clinic has long had a reputation for medical excellence and for holding down costs. But in 2009, the CEO,
examined its performance relative to that of other hospitals and admitted to himself that inpatients did not think much of
their experience at its flagship medical center or its eight community hospitals—and decided something had to be done.
Over the next three years the Clinic transformed itself.
Made improving the patient experience a strategic priority. got everyone in the enterprise—including physicians who
thought that only medical outcomes mattered—to recognize that patient dissatisfaction was a significant issue and that all
employees, even administrators and janitors, were “caregivers” who should play a role in fixing it.
By conducting surveys and studies and soliciting patients’ input, the Clinic developed a deep understanding of patients’
needs.
They had to change mind-sets, develop and implement processes, create metrics, and monitor performance so that the
organization could continually improve.
Staff communicated intensively with prospective patients to set realistic expectations for what their time in the hospital
would be like.
These steps were not rocket science, but they changed the organization very quickly. fears expressed by some physicians
that the initiative might conflict with efforts to maintain high quality and safety standards and to further reduce costs turned
out to be unfounded. During the transformation the Clinic rose dramatically in the University Health System Consortium’s
rankings of 97 academic medical centers on quality and safety. Its efficiency in delivering care improved as well.
