Healthcare organizations use various means to collect patient satisfaction data. One popular method is to conduct surveys on discharged patients. It is important for the manager to understand which patients are to be surveyed and the substance of the survey. Management can promote improved satisfaction scores by encouraging employee engagement, removing identified patient dissatisfiers, implementing a bedside handoff report (with patient involvement, where appropriate), and regular rounding on patients (Kearns, 2015).
