Qualitytek Launches eSurvey – First Online Baldrige Self-Assessment

Naperville, IL – March 2, 2005 - Qualitytek, an innovative provider of health care quality tools, today announced the availability of its eSurvey, the only online Baldrige-based self-assessment tool designed for health care facilities. More and more health care organizations are embracing the Malcolm Baldrige Award criteria as an effective measure of their performance. The eSurvey eliminates one of the biggest stumbling blocks to implementing an organizational assessment – the perception that conducting a self-assessment is costly, time consuming and intimidating. With the eSurvey, organizations can quickly evaluate themselves directly against the Baldrige Health Care Criteria for Excellence, rapidly identifying strengths and opportunities for improvement – all at a fraction of the cost it would take to develop and tabulate a survey on their own.
“A self-assessment is a critical first step, regardless of whether an organization decides to apply for a local, state or national award”, said Bhavani Rao, Qualitytek Vice President of Marketing. “The e-Survey makes it possible for administrators to turn their attention away from creating or compiling a survey and toward developing action plans and performance improvement initiatives”.
The web-based nature of the eSurvey allows anywhere, anytime access – making it easier to include all staff levels and shifts in the feedback process. Survey participants are ensured complete confidentiality of responses and comments. For administrators there is nothing to download or install. With no paper involved, this tool reduces the documentation required and provides speed and simplicity. Organizations using the eSurvey can benefit by rapidly creating a snapshot of their current performance and periodically resurveying themselves to measure progress towards excellence.
