Patient Reported Experience Measures (PREMs)
PREMs are a once-off capture of a patient's perception of what happened during their health care visit and views about their hospital experience, as well as their satisfaction with our health service. Inpatients are invited to participate in the online survey about their recent experience via SMS within 48hrs of their discharge from our facilities.
The Public Service Act 2008 requires that we publish information in relation to complaints received by the Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service.
| Total compliments received: | 3437 |
| Total complaints received: | 1823 |
| Complaints acknowledged within 5 calendar days: | 100% |
| Complaints resolved within 35 calendar days: | 86.2% |
| Complaints resulting in further action *: | 848 |
| Complaints resulting in no further action: | 975 |
* As the legislation does not define "Number of Complaints resulting in further action" The Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service has defined this as the number of complaints that were rated with a moderate or higher classification and were not resolved at front line.
