Do you look at quality issues from a patient perspective? Is your staff aware of issues that are most important to the people in their care? Are you gathering and sharing patient feedback in a way that effectively supports Quality Improvement?

How Patient Satisfaction Measurement Can Help Your Organization

Understanding patient perceptions of their healthcare experiences plays an important role in determining how to improve the quality of care. To improve service quality, organizations must focus on the way they operate and provide services to their patients. When operations are aligned with the needs and expectations of patients, resources are better managed helping to cut costs while improving efficiency and quality.

Every healthcare organization puts "patient focus" at the centre of its mission. Patient feedback is an important way to ensure that you're succeeding in that goal and a way to bring about positive change and transformation that improves the delivery of care and organizational performance. Patient satisfaction measurement is a key part of any Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) program. Gathering and measuring patient feedback in support of CQI should be comprehensive and continuous; otherwise the service picture is incomplete. Ongoing monitoring and patient feedback helps organizations recognize problems, deficits and gaps and provides the fundamental building blocks for improvements.
