SEMINAR ON PATIENT SATISFACTION AND UTILISATION REVIEW

PATIENT SATISFACTION Introduction Patients are the foundation of medical practice, it is very obvious that they must be satisfied while in or out of the Hospital. To provide patient-centered care creating a culture that accepts people for, who they are and where, they are in life cycle, by meeting their needs at that point, with the health systems mission to care for the body, mind and spirit of patients. Often long-term duration of interaction Heightened emotional levels - anxiety, fear, pain Purpose is to meet needs Aim is to reduce demand via effectiveness Wide and increasing gap between professional competence and patient understanding Public and private sector competition Open but blurred demarcation between patient and practitioner Ambiguous outcomes for patients and professionals Extraordinary experience rare and intense emotions difficult to describe (personal/abstract) can cause positive/negative care evaluation DEFINITION Patient satisfaction is defined as a health care recipients reaction to salient aspects of the context, process, and result of their service experience. - Pascoe (1983) Patient satisfaction is defined as the extent of the resemblance between the expected quality of care and the actual received care. - Scarding (1994) OBJECTIVE OF PATIENT SATISFACTION Health Care Institutions are primarily patient centric. Patient Satisfaction is the strongest determinant of hospital functioning. Ultimate goal of the hospital is satisfaction of its customers. Patient Satisfaction depends on workers motivation, dedication and duty towards the patients.

PRINCIPLES OF PATIENT SATISFACTION 1. QUALITY OF CARE The quality patient experience doesnt happen by accident but by standardized practice. A consistently great patient experience is not a matter of attitude, awareness or positive intent but a matter of design and continuous quality improvement.

2. MANAGING ANXIETY, FEAR AND PAIN Anxiety is the rust of life, destroying its brightness and weakening its power. (Anon) Patients are highly anxious. To create an exceptional patient experience, we need to focus on preventing or lessening anxiety for patients and families. 3. BETTER COMMUNICATION Some emotions don't make a lot of noise. If we dont communicate our caring, patients and families might think we dont care.

4. PERSONAL ATTENTION Patients and families want personalised care and service

5. STAFF ACCOUNTABILITY All staff must be accountable for their role like: o Clear responsibility o Clear performance

o Sound measurement and feedback

o o

Courageous conversations Consequences reporting

Effective long-term strategies inevitably involve a fresh look at the hospital culture and how it drives or restrains your patient experience vision. TEN PILLARS OF PATIENT SATISFACTION 1.
