Abstract
The importance of improving the analysis of complaints about poor healthcare experiences is recognized but often not addressed. We explored the utility of the Healthcare Complaints Assessment Tool for analyzing written complaints in a specialist pediatric hospital receiving relatively few, but complex, complaints. The scoring framework could be applied but, in contrast to previous work, the complexity of complaints was considerably greater. Responses to the complainant were also scored and we identified instances of both higher and lower levels of severity than identified by the complainant, suggesting a novel application of the tool which will be important for institutional learning.
