The primary care physician's guide to growing patient satisfaction
Improving patient satisfaction is good for everyone in your office as well as the long-term financial health of your practice. In this ebook, we offer best practices to help you address this key area.
Primary care physicians (PCPs) want healthy, happy patients. And patient satisfaction in healthcare can affect a person's emotional state — ask any patient how happy they are if the receptionist in their doctor's office treats them badly. Ask how their day is after waiting two hours past their appointment time in your waiting room. Worst of all, consider how they feel after a misdiagnosis.
The good news? Read on to find out how you can fill your practice with satisfied and loyal patients.
