As part of CheckUP’s commitment to ensuring services meet patient needs in appropriate ways, a new patient feedback survey has been developed in collaboration with the project’s Steering Committee and Advisory Committee. Survey questions are tailored to measure the achievement of project objectives to prevent, early detect and treat skin cancers and to facilitate linkages and referral pathways for those patients found to have skin cancers.

In addition to measuring satisfaction with their treatment processes and their experience overall, the post-appointment survey also measures patients’ short-term outcomes including:

In addition, the survey gathers information from patients about existing barriers and alternative access options if SCED was not available to them.

Results from completed surveys will be analysed by CheckUP evaluators and non-identifying reports with accompanying recommendations returned to relevant service providers to support their quality improvement efforts.

Stay tuned to hear what patients have to say about this important and life-saving program over the next few years!
