Care Experience Survey


Overview

Acute Care Alberta has been testing a simple survey for patients discharged from certain Emergency Departments and Day Surgery Units (see below listed sites).

The survey – titled, Tell us how we did - is focused on better understanding how patients experience care in specific acute care environments, across Alberta.

Tell us how we did is administered online, via a link sent by text message from 1-866-665-1811.

All survey responses are anonymous. Survey participation will not affect any respondent’s ability to access care.

Patients who receive this text upon discharge can provide a simple rating of their care experience and expand (in writing) on the rating chosen.

This survey has been launched in phases:

  • June 23 – July 7: day surgery units at the following sites:
    • Northern Lights Regional Hospital
    • Brooks Health Centre
    • Foothills Medical Centre
    • Medicine Hat Regional Hospital
  • June 9 – June 23: emergency departments at the following sites:
    • Northern Lights Regional Hospital
    • Brooks Health Centre
    • Foothills Medical Centre
    • Medicine Hat Regional Hospital
    • Misericordia Hospital
    • Banff Mineral Springs Hospital

Selected to reach a mix of urban, regional and rural patients, these sites represent both Alberta Health Services and Covenant operations.

Findings from Phase 1 will be used to determine next steps.
