Consider the following scenario:
Nurses and other health care professionals are often interested in assessing patient satisfaction
with health care services. Imagine that you are a nurse working in a suburban primary care setting
that serves 10,000 patients annually. Your organization is very interested in understanding the
patient’s point of view to help determine areas of care that can be improved. With this focus in
mind, consider how you would create a survey to assess patient satisfaction with the services your
organization provides. You may wish to consider variables such as the ease of accessing care,
patient wait time, friendliness of the staff, or the likelihood that a patient would recommend your
organization to others.
For this Discussion, you generate questions and an overall plan for data collection that would be
appropriate for a patient satisfaction survey in relation to the above scenario.
