The Buy-in
First, we listened…
• In 2005, the Office of Physician Relations decided to reexamine our survey process
• We formulated a series of goals to • Overcome the challenges of the feedback system• Support the department’s objective of providing better access to feedback
• Deploying an online system created excitement and interest among p y g y ginternal stakeholders
• We organized our goals around their needsWe organized our goals around their needs • And gained considerable buy-in for the online system from the onset, and• Enhanced our department’s internal standing once the online system
launched

launched
…but we also needed to address their specific concerns
• Importance scores never change and don’t discriminate factors (i.e., everything is important)
• The physician’s actual experience isn’t recorded, so data aren’t actionable
• Timely distribution of reports to centers is difficult

…and addressed specific concerns in designing the survey process
• Importance scores never change and don’t discriminate factors (i.e., everything is important)• Importance scores will be adjusted on a quarterly basis using a statistical
procedure that calculates derived importance
• The physician’s actual experience isn’t recorded, so data aren’t actionable• In the online version of the survey, referring physicians are asked an

…but there were some things we couldn’t do initially
• Develop a lengthy questionnaire to cover a myriad of issues and requests• Center-specific questions
• Expect all physicians to respond onlinep p y p
• Utilize the process to support immediate service recovery needs
• Integrate with CRM or Contact Management System
• Doctors who refer to multiple centers, and high vs. low volume referrers• Can’t ask a doctor about every patient they send

The Results
Increased value of the feedback
Metrics ResultsExtend circulation of reports t f tli t ff
Sessions in FY2007: 298 (average 25/month)to more frontline staff
Sessions in FY2008 (5 months): 160 (average 32/month)Enhance the quality of feedback
We improved the level of specificity in open ended questions. q
The online system immediately organizes comments to the area of the referring physician experience.
Reduce lag time between the Feedback even when provided via paper is entered into theReduce lag time between the referral experience andfeedback to care centers
Feedback, even when provided via paper, is entered into the system as it is received.
This has reduced the feedback time to less than two weeks. P id t it f O d d t di ifi tiProvide an opportunity for managers to take action
Open-ended comments regarding specific actions are no longer blinded. These respondents are also flagged “at-risk.”

Cost reductions
Metrics ResultsDecrease the cost of data
ll tiFixed budget for next three years to finance programming.
collectionThis budget was the same as our previous vendor.
Cost savings after third year will equal over 50%.Increase the frequency of reporting
Migrated reporting from quarterly to real-time
Improve response rates The online system has not enhanced response rates overall.
Email response rates have been higher than mail.Reduce the number of ad hoc report requests
Such requests to Physician Relations are nonexistent.
Th li t i f i i d t b dThe online system can run queries for examining data based on patient type or time period.

Providing more consultative services
• The new approach is more than a satisfaction measurement tool, stimulating requests for internal consultative support:
• Strategic Planning and Growth initiatives• Global Oncologygy• Brand Management• Enterprise Internet • Care Center specific planning• Care Center specific planning
• Process and Operations Improvement.• Baldridge Self-Assessment Processes• Customer Service and Access• Clinical Safety and Effectiveness Program

Considerations/Additional issues
• Experience. If you are building this online system, we recommend finding a vendor that understands both marketing research and technology. This was more difficult than we first believed. Even the nationally recognized market research firms we considered did not y ghave the foresight to envision and implement this type of solution as they are more focused on patient satisfaction for JCAHO.
• Multimode survey process Organizations must be willing to use both paper and online• Multimode survey process. Organizations must be willing to use both paper and online surveys to maintain response levels. This might have short-term costs as you continue to build your database. Furthermore, some referring physicians might not ever be willing to complete surveys online. So the design should be flexible, to accommodate faxed and mailed surveysmailed surveys.
• Scale. The benefits of this online system are more evident to healthcare systems overall, and to hospitals with large referral volumes. However, all organizations can apply some of these principles (without investment in an online system).
• Data integration. There are limitations to what you can do in an online environment. Tying feedback to internal data is an issue we faced as HIPAA sets certain constraints on

Tying feedback to internal data is an issue we faced, as HIPAA sets certain constraints on the data that organizations can host online.
Things we are planning to do
• Encourage increased participation via the Web
• Continue efforts to further improve timeliness of feedback
• Develop physician reputation componentDevelop physician reputation component
• Integration with CRM application
• Translation of the survey tool (e.g., Spanish)
• Enhancements to reporting of data (e.g., views by country or satellite location)
