Overall rating of care
The Victorian Healthcare Experience Survey (VHES) asks patients about their experiences during their stay at a Victorian public health service. As part of the survey, patients rate the overall experience of their care.
The graph below shows the overall rating of care where a patient recorded this as either 'good' or 'very good'. You can filter by health service.

About the data
About positive patient experience
A patient’s experience is considered positive if they rate their care as either ‘good’ or ‘very good’ in response to the VHES question: ‘Overall, how would you rate the care you received while in hospital?’
The statewide target has not been finalised for FY 2022–23 at the date of publication.
