Current Patient Experience Rating
What is this?
The Eastern Health Patient Experience Star Rating is calculated from the feedback received from our consumers (patients, clients and residents).Consumers are invited to complete the Eastern Health Patient Experience Survey in a number of ways including via email, via a brochure with a QR code linking to the survey or prior to discharge. The average number of surveys collected each month is 450.
The star rating reflects the percentage of patients who answered “Very good” or “Good” to the question “Overall, how would you rate the care you received?”

- Victorian Healthcare Experience Survey (VHES) - is a statewide survey of people’s public healthcare experience. An independent contractor, Ipsos Social Research Institute, conducts the survey on behalf of the Victorian Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). The questionnaires are distributed by Ipsos Social Research Institute to a randomly selected group of eligible people from our health service in the month following hospital discharge or emergency department attendance. The VHES allows a wide range of people to provide feedback on their experiences from across the spectrum of services provided by Eastern Health with feedback and data captured from all Eastern Health sites.
- Patient Experience Surveys – are an important mechanism for obtaining feedback from our patients, families and carers about the care they receive at Eastern Health. As many patients as possible are provided the opportunity to complete the survey through completion of the survey via ward/service iPad prior to discharge, via provision of the Patient Experience Survey brochure at discharge which provides a QR code to the survey or via email.
- Care Opinion – an independent site for the consumers, families and carers of those who have accessed aged, health, and community services in Australia. Care Opinion gives you a public voice to share your experience about the services you use.
Eastern Health consumer information for inpatients
In response to consumer and staff feedback about the number and variety of brochures and education materials distributed to patients on admission, Eastern Health has produced a single patient booklet called Partners in Care – help us to care for you during your stay.
A Working Group including members from all areas of the organisation and consumers was established to develop it. A talented cartoonist, Taehoon Gwag who is also a Box Hill Hospital Patient Support Assistant worked with the Centre for Patient Experience staff and consumers to develop the illustrations. The Partners in care – help us to care for you during your hospital stay booklet is also available in Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Vietnamese, Greek and Italian.
In 2022, a Partners in Care video was developed and launched to provide a different format for patients, carers and families to access this important information.
