摘要
Aim: In health service the view of the patients has gained importance due to an increasing focus on competition. Continuous Patient surveys are able to provide important information about process quality. Method: Starting out from several program evaluation studies, a scanner readable patient questionnaire was developed. The questionaire contains clinic specific items for rating certain treatments and clinic comprehensive items for purposes of benchmarking. For data analysis, a special software was developed which provides reports in HTML. Results: The evaluation software generates optical markers to show conspicious assessments and changes in comparison to the previous assessment period (e.g. month, quarter or year). The longterm trend is illustrated by course charts. For comparing and benchmarking, a synoptic display is generated. Conclusion: The patient interview survey introduced here has proved to be a suitable instrument in the context of quality management. The discussion of the results among experts allows to identify startingpoints for improvement measures and their evaluation.
