7 Introduction Two surveys were made available to palliative care services to administer as a quality assessment process aimed at improving patient/carer outcomes. The questionnaire designed for patient experience aims to provide a reflection of response to need and patient experiences. The questionnaire for carers is designed to capture a profile of the carer and important elements of their experiences. The tools used were the Patient Outcome Scale (POS) 2 and FAMCARE 2. The first ten questions of the POS 2 are slightly modified from the POS developed by Higginson and colleagues 1. The original question 11 in the scale has been substituted with a question from the McGill Quality of Life Scale (Cohen ). This question is included to let us know if there are things that have not been asked about, but which are important for some patients quality of life. There are two versions of the survey instrument. One is for completion by those patients able to participate. The other is a staff-rated version for those patients who are not well enough to complete their own survey. The original FAMCARE 3 was devised to ask family members to list indicators of quality of palliative care from their perspective and the patient s perspective. The list includes items relating to the availability of care, the quality of patient care and psycho-social issues. In addition to the questions, four questions have been added to FAMCARE to measure more practical issues relating to being a carer such as whether or not the carer was aware of the availability of a Carer Payment or whether they have received help with practical tasks. These questions have been tested and are now routinely collected in the Ongoing Needs Identification (ONI) tool used in community care services in NSW and Queensland 4. Services were asked to provide PCOC with a minimum of survey forms for the patient experience survey and the carer satisfaction survey for analysis. Twelve services nationally participated in the PCOC Patient and Carers Experiences surveys during 1. Ethics approval was received from the University of Wollongong Human Research Ethics Committee, proposal number HE6/45. Some services also approached their local HREC s for approval. 1 Hearn J and Higginson IJ (1999) Development and validation of a core outcome measure for palliative care: the palliative care outcome scale.
