The simplest way to invite people to share their experiences on Care Opinion is just to provide a link to this site.
Another way is to make an "invitation link", and provide that instead.
What does an invitation link do?
An invitation link allows you to customise various aspects of our story-telling workflow:
- easily access widget codes, kiosk links or QR codes to share with patients.
- keep track of which stories came via which invitation links.
Customising the story-telling workflow
Anyone can share a story about any service with our "standard workflow", accessible from the Tell your story tab on every page. With an invitation link you can customise this workflow, or direct people to the "kiosk workflow". Your invitation link can:
- make sure a specific health/care service is pre-selected.
- add specific tags to new stories after a story is told.
- invite the author to visit your own survey or consultation tool.
Next steps
To get started, you need to create your invitation link. Then share the link with your patients, service users or carers in whatever way makes the most sense.
Once some stories have been shared, you can search, report on or visualise them however you like.
