Aim

Our Home Health Monitoring (HHM) projects engage clients and their families to support patients’ quality of life by educating patients and caregivers about chronic conditions and symptoms, and giving patients the freedom to self-manage their condition(s) from their homes and away from traditional hospital settings. We recently created five surveys: three for patients with chronic disease (e.g. heart disease, COPD, multi-morbidity), one for caregivers and one for care providers to assess their experience and satisfaction with the HHM program during and after completion. We would like to involve patient partners to review our surveys and give us their feedback on the appropriateness of the survey questions.

Where those of us in the room may have debated policy or wording, patient voices made sure patients were top of mind. And as a result, significant improvements were made to simplify something that was otherwise complex. Patient voices at the table bring us back to reality in terms of what we are trying to achieve.
