Make your voice heard! Faites entendre votre voix! Introducing AFHTO's second patient priorities survey.

La version française suit l'anglaise. PLEASE SHARE THE SURVEY LINK BELOW.

Hello! We want to hear from you.

The Association of Family Health Teams of Ontario (AFHTO) wants to dig deeper into what matters most to patients when they think about their family doctor, nurse practitioner or primary heathcare team. What we learned from the first survey helped us find a better way to measure quality in primary care. It was such a success that we've decided to do it again. For the past few months we have been working with patient partners to develop and refine a second survey.

By completing and sharing this survey you can highlight what matters most to patients. It will take about 20 minutes and participation is anonymous. We encourage you to participate and make your experience count!

Participate in the survey

Bonjour! Nous souhaitons connaître votre opinion.

L'Association of Family Health Teams of Ontario (AFHTO) souhaite en savoir plus sur ce qui importe le plus aux patients lorsqu'ils pensent à leur médecin de famille, à leur infirmière praticienne spécialisée ou à leur équipe de soins de santé primaires. Les connaissances que nous avons tirées du premier sondage nous ont aidés à trouver une meilleure façon de mesurer la qualité des soins primaires. Cette initiative a connu tant de succès que nous avons décidé de renouveler l'expérience. Au cours des derniers mois, nous avons travaillé avec les partenaires des patients pour développer et peaufiner un deuxième sondage.

En remplissant et en communiquant ce sondage, vous pouvez mettre en relief ce qui importe le plus aux patients. Il faut compter environ 20 minutes pour répondre au sondage et la participation est anonyme. Nous vous invitons donc à participer et à faire en sorte que votre expérience compte!

I was involved with the first survey effort a few years ago by AFHTO. They are genuinely trying to identify what patients think are important to measure or evaluate in primary care and are trying different ways to get at this information. Please do the survey and support their efforts.

To all who participated in this rather difficult survey:

Your help with filling this out has been greatly helpful. AFHTO received 250+ filled out surveys - better than 2 years ago.

Preliminary analysis shows that patients are focused on the relationship aspects rather than the clinical aspects of their experiences with their primary care doctors. For example, we consider it more important to measure doctors on how well they listen to us rather than whether they do cancer screening.

Most surveys measuring doctors focus on the clinical tasks so this is ground breaking and hard evidence that we, as patients, see the relationship with our doctor as very important.

So again, many thanks to all of you who participated. You have made a difference! Alies
