new co-designed postcard a hit

The new co-designed client feedback postcard, developed between the Quality Team and a client using the cohealth co-design principles, has been a big hit with clients at cohealth Niddrie.

Faced with the challenge of how to increase feedback from clients, cohealth client Anne – also a member of the Northern Community Advisory Group – worked with the cohealth Quality Team to develop a new client feedback postcard which she describes as ‘quick, easy to use and understand’.

Anne thought that there needed to be a simpler, more inviting and approachable way for clients to provide feedback. “I had been frustrated with the feedback methods in use, statistics were not giving an accurate picture, as only a limited sample of people were being captured” she said.

The postcard aims to capture feedback from a wider sample of the cohealth community and paint a more accurate picture of client satisfaction. The postcard has been trialled at Niddrie, with 200 postcards distributed to dental and allied health clients with great results: a 65% return rate and 95% satisfaction rate. The Quality Team are now considering how this approach may be used at other sites.

Here are a couple of stand-out comments from the feedback:

“A pleasant experience & professional care”

“All staff are lovely and very helpful. Thank you!”

“Excellent care and attention”

“The postcard may have been my idea, but there has been a whole team involved in putting this into place” said Anne. The project demonstrates how working with our clients can produce excellent outcomes.
