Patient Satisfaction Survey (Report) Page 4 1 Liwa Hospital Primary research campaign was implemented to conduct quantitative questionnaire based interviews with statistically significant samples of informed patients possessing a recent experience at Liwa Hospital. The survey was conducted via CATI (Computer Assisted Telephone Interviews) and face-to-face interviews by GRMC operatives in Arabic and English languages along with other ethnic languages (Urdu, Farsi, Hindi, etc.) as required. This patient database included specific fields of information comprising; patient name; patient contact number (GSM and / or Landline); and other patient facets such as gender, date of birth and nationality. The questionnaires pertinent to the patient satisfaction survey were designed in collaboration with the HAAD authorities. The base questionnaire used to capture responses was in English language however interviewer scripts were prepared in Arabic language so as to follow patient respondents to participate in a better manner. For CATI, our approach relied on data collected via a telephone interview. In order to achieve this Liwa Hospital provided GRMC with a patient database. For improved accuracy, GRMC contacted patients whose most recent experience of visiting Liwa Hospital was not longer than a fortnight ago. As such, Liwa Hospital shared patient database every two weeks with GRMC. Along with outpatient services in medical specialities such as, general medicine, paediatrics and mother and child health, Liwa Hospital also provides emergency services. Inpatient services are limited to day care and include patients kept for observation. No invasive procedures are undertaken at the facility. As such, primary research interviews were limited to the outpatient department. Approximately 180 outpatient interviews were conducted of which 115 forms were completed and validated.
