The Survey of nearly 700 people in Australia revealed that Australians report relatively high satisfaction from their experiences with the healthcare system—but trouble navigating the complex system and the cost of services can lead to disengagement with the patient journey and cause delays in accessing care, potentially worsening health outcomes.
Accenture’s 2021 Health and Life Sciences Experience survey seeks to understand patient and consumer attitudes toward healthcare systems in Australia and around the world, in terms of access, technology adoption, service experience and trust.
Understanding the experiences that Australians value most, from emotional support to increased convenience, will be critical in re-defining human-centred healthcare services and maximising positive interactions with the healthcare system.
