The Voice of the Patient has joined ICHOM and the Global Surgery Foundation as we strive to improve healthcare quality locally and abroad.
ICHOM is a globally recognized non-profit organization dedicated to transforming healthcare by defining and promoting the standardization of health outcomes measurement. ICHOM’s mission is to unlock the potential of outcome measurement to drive improvements in patient care and to foster a healthcare ecosystem where data-driven insights lead to better health outcomes for all.
The GSF is committed to advancing and strengthening health systems across the world. By working closely with governments, healthcare providers, and international organizations, the Foundation seeks to improve the quality and accessibility of essential surgical care through advocacy, education, and capacity-building initiatives.
We believe that healthcare is about the patient. The best healthcare systems, tools, structures and models, are those that put the patient at the center. The Voice of the Patient aims to do just that.
Healthcare is about more than just procedures, costs, treatments, and clinical protocols. The Voice of the Patient measures the outcomes that matter most to patients.
To improve health outcomes requires accurate, reliable, and real measures. The Voice of the Patient aims to drive improvement through patient-reported outcomes and experience measures.
Insight Actuaries is a leading analytics firm in the Australian healthcare market. Our goal is to support a better health system through improved decisions and informed choices for all stakeholders.
Information about the quality of care has largely been missing from our healthcare system. We believe that the perspective of patients and information about their individual lived experiences are crucial for healthcare quality measurement and improvement.
We launched the Voice of the Patient to collect and measure these perspectives.
We ask you to tell us about them. More specifically, we use a range of international and local, independently validated, question sets to guide you through specific aspects of your care and collect information about your health interactions.
We will normally only ask you to provide us with feedback on two or three occasions:
The first is as close to your treatment date as possible (ideally, before you go to the hospital). The second will be a couple of weeks or months after you have been discharged and you are well on your way to recovery.
Each question set is designed to match your treatment and procedure - this should not take more than a minute or two to complete. So in total, we are asking for 4 minutes over three to six months.
No. Your individual responses are confidential and will not be shared with your doctor or the hospital.
We take the protection of privacy very seriously and we handle all data in strict accordance with the Australian Privacy Act and guiding regulations. Our role is to support you to use your experiences in a meaningful way to improve the quality of care.
If you have opted-out of receiving communications from your health fund we will not contact you. You are also welcome to opt-out of the process at any time.
If you had a great experience then please tell us about it.
If you suspect or know that something went wrong, we suggest you contact your health fund right away.
If you have received anything from us, it is because we have partnered with your health fund. Please feel free to contact them directly to confirm if you should participate or would like additional information.
Please contact us if you have any further questions or comments?
