Dissatisfied with the care and services you received?
Despite our best efforts to provide quality services, you may feel that you did not receive adequate care or that your rights were violated.
- As a partner in your own healthcare, you can take the first step of discussing the situation with your healthcare professional; if necessary, you can then take your concerns to the head of the department in question. These simple steps could be enough to resolve the problem.
- If you are not satisfied with the outcome or if you think the situation warrants it, you can ask for assistance or file a complaint. An online complaint form is available.
The Commissioner will review your complaint, guide you through the process, and inform you of his conclusions. Users can also ask the Commissioner to help them resolve a problem without having to file an official complaint. The Commissioner may also suggest ways to improve the quality of care and services at our institution.
Were you a witness or a victim of maltreatment?
The Ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux has tasked the Service Quality and Complaints Commissioner with processing complaints and reports related to the policy to combat maltreatment of persons in vulnerable situations. The Commissioner will hear all complaints related to this matter.
Who can file a complaint?
• Any user of the CISSS de la Montérégie-Ouest;
• The parent or guardian of a minor child;
• The legal mandatary of an incapable person;
• The curator, tutor, spouse, close relative, or significant person of a user of majority age.
Want to pass on your compliments or thanks?
