Tamara Tops Private Hospital Satisfaction

Jun 30, 2012

Tamara Private Hospital in Tamworth has topped the list of Australia's best private hospitals, as rated by patients in a comprehensive nationwide survey of patient satisfaction conducted by private health fund, Medibank Private.

The top honours also mean that Tamara Private received the awards for top Australian Regional and the top New South Wales private hospital.

Tamara Private CEO Annette Arthur said the hospital was delighted to receive this recognition from patients.

"These awards are testament to the hard work and dedication of our staff at Tamara," Ms Arthur said.

"Every member of staff at Tamara works with one important goal in mind—the delivery of exceptional care. It's fantastic to hear that we have achieved this and it's great that this dedication has been recognised and rewarded."

Medibank Private's Hospital Experience Survey analysed 17,322 responses covering 140 private hospitals in the largest survey of its type in Australia. The Survey covers every stage of the hospital experience, from pre-admission to discharge and follow-up, with respondents sharing their thoughts on everything from the standard of medical treatment provided to privacy levels, cleanliness and food quality.
