The South Australian Public Hospital Consumer Experience Survey (SACESS) is conducted amongst a sample of people that have recently stayed at least overnight in a public hospital in South Australia. The survey measures consumers’ experiences with their hospital stay by asking what patients think about the care and treatment received during their recent visit to hospital. The answers provided allow SA Health to report to the government and enable hospitals to work towards providing the highest quality health care and services as possible. McNair yellowSquares is provided the secure and confidential contact details of people who have been in hospital on a monthly basis.
On average, the survey takes 7 to 8 minutes to complete. All answers are confidential and all results will be presented in a form that does not allow any individual's answers to be identified.
Participants have the option to nominate an alternative time to complete the survey, and also have to option to complete the survey online at their convenience.
Results from these surveys will be published annually, and can be seen at https://www.sahealth.sa.gov.au/wps/wcm/connect/public+content/sa+health+internet/clinical+resources/safety+and+quality/safety+and+quality+reports
