Providing Feedback: Compliments and Complaints

We value your feedback so that we can improve our service to our patients. We encourage  you to provide as much feedback as possible with the following:

Making a compliment

If you are happy with the treatment you received or something, or someone has impressed you, we invite you to share this with us. We have mechanisms for you to document this – just ask one of our team.

Making a complaint

If at any time during your visit, you feel your needs are not being met, please don’t hesitate to speak to our staff. If this happens, you have the right to complain and have your complaint heard and acted on.

A complaint can be made over the phone, in person, or in writing. If you have exhausted your  options for lodging a complaint with the hospital and your complaint has not been resolved  to your satisfaction, you may wish to contact the Health Ombudsman on free call 133 646.

The Health Ombudsman/Health Quality and Complaints Commission is an independent organisation that reviews and investigates health complaints.

Complications

Complications in Day Hospital environments are extremely rare, however your Doctor will inform you of possible complications when you review the consent for surgery. Should there be a complication; the Miami Private Hospital has a vigorous quality management system in place for reporting and management of such events. It is mandatory that all staff comply with the quality management systems.

Open Disclosure

The Miami Private Hospital has a mechanism to ensure that communication is open and honest, and that there are immediate processes in place should there be an unplanned event whilst you are in our care (an adverse event). We will ensure that you or your relative or carer is informed with feedback to you from the Manager of the Miami Private Hospital.
