RECAP AND TIMELINE FOR SURVEY COORDINATORS

Part IV

Armstrong Institute for Patient Safety and Quality

Effective surveys…

1. Are confidential and anonymous• No way to link responses with email address or other individual

information • Results reported at unit-level• Critical that the survey coordinator, project team, and leadership

focus on survey as a tool for learning and improvement

2. Have a clear reason and motivation to complete them• Must be clear to staff why you are asking them to complete this

survey, what will happen with results, and what will be done based on their input

3. Are publically supported by both formal and informal unit leaders • If leaders and colleagues view the survey as important and worthy

of their time, frontline staff will be more motivated to contribute their input

Action Items for survey coordinators:

After website opens and you receive the email with the website link and instructions:

1. Log-on to the website and complete any required registration information

2. Upload unit email addresses to online survey app (survey emails will be automatically sent to unit members once their email addresses are uploaded)
