Using Ocean to Collect Patient Feedback

Collecting patient experience feedback through surveys is a key component of the annual Quality Improvement Plan. We also know that collecting that feedback – which may contain patient health information – can be both time consuming and fraught with risk.

Below you will find instructions on how to load the "HQO Patient Experience Survey - 2015" automatically onto your tablets, as the last form that the patient is required to complete.

  • To load the form for every patient at the end of their tablet session:

    • Log in to the Ocean PortalClick "Menu" in the top left corner and select "Tablets & Kiosks".  Choose "Edit" for the tablet group that you want to add the rule to.
    • Enter the Preferences tab and enable "Display a survey or other form after all other forms are complete". Type in "HQO Patient Experience Survey - 2015".
    • Save your preferences.

    To load the form on your your tablet(s) using rules:

    • Log in to the Ocean PortalClick "Menu" in the top left corner and select "Tablets & Kiosks".  Choose "Edit" for the tablet group that you want to add the rule to.
    • Enter the Rules tab and choose "Create Rule". Search for the "HQO Patient Experience Survey - 2015" from the list of forms that pops up.
    • Click "Choose" to add a rule line for that form.
    • Type in one of the following JavaScript rule in the "Trigger" text box to define when you want this form to show up automatically.
    • To load the survey for every patient who hasn't completed it in the past:
    • firstTime
    • Copy Rule
    • Ensure that this rule is at the bottom of the tablet rules list so that it is the last thing that the patient needs to complete on the tablet.
