CFEP Surveys offers two survey options tailored to meet the unique needs of your general practice.
The Practice Accreditation Survey provides a streamlined approach for collecting patient feedback for the practice, and ensuring practices meet RACGP Standards 5th edition and enhance their eligibility for the Practice Incentive Program – Quality Improvement. This option is ideal for practices seeking to fulfill basic accreditation requirements through efficient and effective patient feedback.
For practices aiming to go beyond basic accreditation and enhance individual practitioner performance, Practice Accreditation Survey Plus includes feedback for individual practitioners in addition to the practice. Practitioners can choose from patient feedback or Multi-Source Feedback which collects comprehensive feedback not only from patients but also from colleagues. This addition contributes significantly towards the Medical Board of Australia’s CPD requirements for practitioners. Plus, receive up to 50% off feedback for individual doctors when purchased through our Practice Accreditation Survey Plus package. This enhanced option is perfect for practices that prioritise a holistic view of their service quality and seek deeper insights into individual practitioner performance.
Whichever option you choose, all surveys are carefully designed to support your practice and patients to achieve better outcomes for all.
