Moving beyond surveys to improve the patient journey
Studies find that patients reporting the poorest-quality relationships with their physicians were three times more likely to voluntarily leave the physician’s practice than those with a higher-quality relationship. Moreover, 30% of value based purchasing reimbursements are now tied directly to HCAHPS surveys and patient experience, yet large hospital systems only rely on a small sample of survey responses to improve both the patient experience and their HCAHPS score.
