Learning Objectives
Needs Assessment
According to an article in the Journal of Medical Practice Management, more than 90% of online complaints about doctors fault customer service, not quality of care. The physician’s staff team plays a huge role in patient satisfaction, and this session explores the role of the physician in ensuring an environment that is conducive to patient, staff and physician satisfaction coupled with high quality patient care.
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Define a “patient centered practice” and understand its value (beyond the financial value)
- List the steps necessary to build a patient centered practice
- Understand the importance of a practice mission in relation to the patient-centered practice
- List several techniques designed to empower staff to work as a team in support of the practice mission
