Scope: | The purpose of the Hospital patient experience data set specification (DSS) is to describe the information that should be collected to capture patients' experience within the Australian hospital system. The DSS contains metadata describing the various data items that are collected via the suite of 12 national core, common patient experience questions (17 data elements) developed by Picker Institute Europe and selected for use by the Patient Experience Information Development Working Group (PEIDWG) of the National Health Information Standards and Statistics Committee (NHISSC) to capture national patient experience information. The DSS also includes a number of additional demographic or contextual data elements. Patients The DSS is intended for use among admitted patients of public and private hospitals, both those admitted for overnight care and those admitted for same day care. The DSS is not designed for use with maternity, paediatric and mental health admitted patients because the core common questions have not been validated for those patient groups. |

Guide for use: | The exact wording of the question to be used in collection of this DSS can be found in the Collection methods section of each data element. For questions which refer to a 'hospital', the wording may be changed to reflect the context in which the survey is being administered. For example, where a question says '...while in hospital...', this may be replaced with '...while admitted for day surgery...'. The majority of questions in the national core, common patient experience questions are based on the National Health Service (NHS) Adult Inpatient Survey (http://www.nhssurveys.org/surveys/705) that was developed by Picker Institute Europe. The question set has undergone cognitive testing and piloting and has been validated for use with patients who have been admitted overnight patients and for same day care, via computer assisted telephone interview (CATI). |
