What is a Patient Satisfaction Survey?

Do you know what the satisfaction level of your patients is? If your answer is yes, think again.

We conducted a study asking senior-level healthcare professionals if they believe appointments start on time 80% of them believed it did. When we asked patients the same question only 52 % of the patients found that their appointments started on time. The difference in the perceived quality provided and received is an astonishing 28%.

A patient (customer) should be taken care of the entire visit at the hospital from the time they come in contact with the care provider to the time their services have been received and they have gone home.

To locate areas of improvement in your process you can easily conduct surveys during the stay and after they have received their care. This way you as a hospital can cover your entire value providing chain and improve patient satisfaction all over the board.

Six underlying metrics should be used to measure patient satisfaction, and they are:

1. Transparency and communication between care provider and patient
2. Quality of medical care
3. Interpersonal skills displayed by medical professionals
4. Access to doctors and other medical professional
5. Accessibility of care
6. Financial aspects of care
