Ensuring Customer Satisfaction in Today's Health Care Organization: Immediate Action Steps


Clint Maun, CSP


Customers today, regardless of the product or service, expect complete satisfaction and service excellence. This is especially true in health care. Customers in health care (residents and families) are faced with many options and choices. Our business depends on not only being the provider of choice; we then must also exceed their expectations. Since the Federal government has mandated measuring patient satisfaction and tying the outcomes to reimbursement, the time for action is now!
