Patient satisfaction survey for hospitals

Thursday, September 18th, 2008
Some valid questions every hospital owner should ask periodically in order to assess how customers perceive the organisation
  • How satisfied was the patient when he last visited your hospital
  • Which are the parameters you think are valid attributes for patient satisfaction 
  • Which attributes do you want to believe are the right ones for mapping satisfaction
  • Which are the most relevant attributes for patient satisfaction
Our team of engineers have developed a module that allows hospitals to measure customer satisfaction based on what your patient thinks are the right attributes for a pleasant experience. We used the internationally recognised methodology known as servqual for service satisfaction
 
The patient satisfaction survey is available as a product and service for all existing customers of SA-HIS
