Instructors Commentary:
For a little more than a decade there has been a profound shift in the organizational behavior of health care entities. Health care organizations are increasingly shifting their focus to improving patient and consumer satisfaction. Both hospitals and other forms of health care organizations are operating in a competitive environment where the ability to satisfy patients needs can mean the difference in an organizations ability to survive and sustain change. The media is replete with hospital and health care facility closures due to the inability of hospitals to fill beds or provide adequate services.
This competitive environment paired with the increasing government mandates for accountability is spurring health care organizations to take a close look at tracking evaluating and addressing patient satisfaction data to improve quality and performance. Accountable Care Organizations in particular are designed to move health care organizations away from being volume driven care organizations to those of value driven care organizations. Important questions are being raised by health care organizations and those that are using health care services which focus on how satisfied a patient or family was with the services provided how manageable was the system to navigate and what was the quality of care given?
As you will note from the readings the management and evaluation of quality measures within a healthcare organization require leadership. Different healthcare organizations use a variety of patient satisfaction data and quality assurance measures to improve care and service. In this module you will explore both patient satisfaction data and quality assurance in your organization.
