Hospital Patient Care Experience is the focus of a survey being released by the New Brunswick Health Council.
It looked at hospital patients who stayed at least one night in an acute care setting during the months of November and December of last year and January.
Three out of four patients responded by giving the province’s facilities a thumbs-up in terms of overall rating which is comparable to other hospitals in North America.
As far as the Regional is concerned, it was rated in 13 categories and failed three.
Responsiveness of staff, preferred language of service and how well staff help patients manage pain.
The over-all rating of the facility is 76.6%. Over 10,000 questionnaires were mailed out with a response rate of nearly 50%.
