Final deadline MARQuIS Questionnaire: 1st of July 2006

The MARQuIS Questionnaire

Early April the Marquis questionnaire was launched on www.marquisquestionnaire.nl. Hundreds of hospitals from the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands Poland and the Czech Republic have successfully answered all the quality improvement questions.
Unfortunately, the first responders encountered some technical problems. We are very grateful that they took the time to inform us about these issues, so we could solve them.

Response rate so far

Over 500 hospitals agreed to participate in the Marquis research project. Currently, about 70% of these hospitals have filled out the questionnaire. We are hoping to further increase this response rate. Therefore, we have postponed the deadline for filling out the questionnaire. We encourage all remaining hospitals to please enter their data before July 1st. Please join us in this research project and enter the questionnaire at www.marquisquestionnaire.nl in the next few weeks.

Institution specific feedback report

Participating hospitals will receive the main descriptive research findings and an institution specific feedback report by the end of the year.

Key researchers meeting

After the deadline of the 1st of July 2006 the analysis of the results will start. The MARQuIS key researchers will meet in Amsterdam on the 14th of July in order to analyse the results and based on the findings develop an audit model that will be used during the next phase in the project.

Thank you!

The MARQuIS team thanks the participating hospitals for being part of this quality improvement research community.
