The Eastern Colorado Healthcare System strives to always provide the highest quality of care to the veterans of our nation who call Colorado home. We recognize there may be times when a patient or family member has an issue which requires our attention. Because the best time to let us know of any concern or question is at the time it happens — so we can resolve it as quickly as possible — we have established several programs to assist you.

Service Level Liaisons

No matter which service you visit when you come to a Eastern Colorado Healthcare System clinic or program, you will always be able to find one of our many service level liaisons. The service level liaisons can address and resolve your concern at the point of contact.

Patient Advocates

The Eastern Colorado Healthcare System has on staff three highly-skilled patient advocates who are eager to help you with your concern in a timely manner. The Patient Advocates—

• serve as liaisons between patients and the medical center
• act on the patient's behalf
• help patients understand their rights and responsibilities

Our patient advocates are located on the 1st floor of the Denver Medical Center and at both the Colorado Springs and Pueblo outpatient clinics.

Patient Feedback Tools

We also have a number of feedback tools for you to provide information about the care and service you receive. Please take the time to participate in and use these feedback tools. Our goal is to provide compassionate, quality care in a timely manner.

Veteran Comment Boxes

The Director is interested in hearing from veterans about their experiences and the care you receive while in an Eastern Colorado Healthcare System facility.  Please take a moment to complete a "Veteran Comment" form and place it in one of the many comment boxes throughout the facility.

Quickcards

During your stay, you may receive a 'quickcard'. This is a short patient satisfaction survey asking for feedback about your perception of the care you are receiving.

You may answer your quickcard anonymously, or you may provide your name and contact information if you would like us to contact you about the resolution of any issues.

Survey of Healthcare Experience of Patients

After your visit, you may receive a confidential questionnaire in the mail asking you about your most recent outpatient or inpatient treatment at our medical center.

Please use the survey to let us know of any concerns, complaints, or questions you have about your care, so that we can resolve them. We also appreciate compliments about what we are doing right.
