Have your say
Queensland Health is inviting patients to participate in an online survey about their experience with the care they received in Gold Coast Health’s hospitals, and asking parents/carers of young patients about their experience with their child’s hospital care. These are known as Patient Reported Experience Measures (PREMs), and Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs).
A selection of patients will receive an invitation to take part in the survey two days after they or their child leaves the hospital. If you are selected, a link to the online survey will be sent in a text message (SMS) to the mobile phone number listed in your hospital record.
