HospitalAdvisor has two main aims.  Firstly, to empower patients with information so that they can make considered decisions about their hospital care and secondly, to celebrate those hospitals that put patient care at the centre of their service delivery. 

HospitalAdvisor is a platform developed by The Zubin Foundation working together with the Harvard Global Health Institute and Jan Johnston from The University of Hong Kong, School of Public Health.  HospitalAdvisor will generate a Quality of Care score for hospitals based on patient experience surveys completed. In addition, patients will be given an opportunity to make comments on their recent hospital experience. These comments will be made available for public viewing on the website. For more information about the platform, watch this video. 

The theme for the launch event will be “The Importance of Patient Experience for Quality of Care”. Keynote addresses will be provided by Prof Ashish Jha, Director, Harvard Global Health Institute. Dr. Donald Li, President of Hong Kong Academy of Medicine and Prof Sophia Chan, Under Secretary for Food and Health will deliver the welcome speech. 

Join us on 18 May to understand "The Importance of Patient Experience for Quality of Care" and learn more about "HosptialAdvisor".

活動細節

「醫智網」的目的有倆個。第一，我們相信病人及家人應該要掌握更多醫療護理及醫院質素的資訊，比較不同醫院的服務素質。第二，我們透過「醫智網」去表揚那些以病人為本,以病人福祉為服務目標的醫院。

「醫智網」– hospitaladvisor.org.hk讓病人及其家人可以分享他們在醫院的經歷。這個網上平台是由小彬紀念基金會，Harvard Global Health Institute(哈佛大學全球健康研究所) 及香港大學公共衛生學院副教授Janice Jonhson, 一起合作而成。詳細資料，請瀏覽這裡。

這次發佈會的主題是“病人經歷的重要性”。主題演講人為Harvard Global Health Institute(哈佛大學全球健康研究所) Ashish Jha 教授將會特意從美國飛到香港出席儀式並告訴我們為什麼病人的經驗是非常重要的。而香港醫學專科學院李國棟醫生會主持儀式。另外，很榮幸我們能夠邀請到食物及衞生局副局長陳肇始教授，參加啟動儀式。

就在5月18號，加入我們，了解“病人經歷的重要性”，了解更多關於醫智網。
