Real-time Patient Feedback Project (5th March 2009)
This report draws on the experiences of West Midlands PCTs and provider organisations as well as those further afield to build up a picture of current practice in the NHS and in private industry. The report notes that while the use of real-time methodologies has a definite and beneficial role within engagement, organisations must ensure it is part of an overall strategy and that robust processes are in place for co-ordinating data collection, its collation, analysis and dissemination. The report also emphasises the need for feedback to result in action and for that action to be publicised.
