Ontario Patient Experience Survey Setup

A step-by-step guide to setting up the survey in the aTouchAway app.

Please note:

  • You can start the survey (workflow) at any time.
  • The workflow does not send any alerts to the managers when completed, though a manager does need to be selected to complete setup.
  • Upon completion, the patient’s responses will be logged in the workflow history and in the Patient Experience Survey form inside the patient’s file.
  • All caseload / Patient Groups have been updated with the permission to see the form.
  • The responses will be displayed in the Ontario Health data reports available monthly.

Depending on the language set in the patient's account, they will see the survey in English or French automatically.  There are no additional steps that need to be taken by the clinician.
