  1. aAggregated scores on the hospital level were calculated when more questionnaires of one hospital were returned (e.g. from different department members). The following directives were followed for aggregating the results. Evaluation of the feedback report: item 1; average scores were calculated for every aspect; item 2; answer ‘yes’ was used when one respondent marked this option; item 3; the extra option ‘different statements’ was constructed when different options were marked and item 4; answer ‘partly’ was used when different options were marked. For the evaluation of the website, aggregation of the results was not necessary as only the contact persons returned the questionnaire
