  • Lakeridge Health Name Catchment Study Presentation of Findings April 20, 2017 Methodology
    Lakeridge Health Name Catchment Study Presentation of Findings April 20, 2017 Methodology • In January 2017, Lakeridge Health contacted Pollara to conduct a survey of residents residing in its catchment area regarding the following: • Awareness and usage of Lakeridge Health facilities within their communities • Perceptions of Lakeridge Health overall, and in relation to more urban hospitals • Understanding of how perceptions have changed • Usage of Lakeridge vs. legacy names • Perceptions of Lakeridge Health name as reflective of all of Durham and determination of whether it should be changed. • In order to gather the opinions of local residents in the most comprehensive and efficient way, Pollara conducted a telephone survey among 905 randomly-selected residents of the Lakeridge Health catchment area, between February 6th and 14th, 2017. • In each of the six regions (Oshawa, Clarington, Port Perry/Scugog, Whitby, Brock and Ajax- Pickering) approximately 150 surveys were conducted. • Responses were weighted according to region, and age and gender distributions throughout the catchment area to the most recently available census data, rendering an overall margin of error of ±3.3%, nineteen times out of twenty. • Margin of error for the regions is ±8.0%, nineteen times out of twenty. 2 Results in Detail Awareness of Lakeridge in their Community S T R A T E G I C I N S I G H T S 3 Top-of-Mind: Hospitals / Healthcare Clinics In The Community Three-fifths of residents use Lakeridge name to refer to health care in their community: 61% Not surprisingly, regional variations show that many are most familiar with the hospital or clinic that serves their particular community.

Over the last year, we undertook a historic community consultation, gathering more than 20,000 points of input from the Lakeridge Health team, patients, families, partners, and the community. All of this feedback guided everything we do at Lakeridge Health. In fiscal year 2018/19, we made significant improvements to the patient and family experience, with a special focus on increasing patient satisfaction across all four Lakeridge Health Emergency Departments (EDs). Guided by results of broad-based consultations, we learned what matters most to patients, families, Sharon Cochran, Chair of the Board of Trustees and Matthew Anderson, President and CEO Patient and Family Experience Advisors, and the broader community to understand how to serve people better. This information also informed the development of exciting new innovations to make the ED experience faster and easier to navigate.
