This document discusses customer satisfaction and waiting times in queues. It first defines customer satisfaction and explains that it relates to meeting and exceeding customer expectations over long-term use of products or services. It then discusses that the major concern for customers in queues is waiting time. If customers can have a positive waiting experience and perceive the wait to be shorter than it actually is, they may be satisfied. The document then summarizes an article about factors that influence customers' willingness to wait in queues and perceptions of waiting time. It notes that existing literature has not examined how factors affecting waiting times in Sri Lankan supermarket queues influence customer satisfaction. The proposed research aims to identify these factors, examine their impact on satisfaction, and investigate how willingness to wait

There are many missed opportunities for revenue retention in today’s healthcare call centers. Would you like to increase your captured revenue. We highlight a $25M case study.
The document summarizes a study on factors that influence patients' likelihood to return to a medical practice based on their initial phone call experience. The study found that:
1) Empirical elements like answering the phone within three rings, the attendant introducing themselves and stating the location, and not experiencing voicemails, holds, or transfers positively influenced the likelihood of returning.
2) Attitudinal elements like satisfaction with the attendant's friendliness, empathy, and knowledge were also influential factors.
3) Surprisingly, the study found that 35% of callers reported they were not likely to return to the practice based on their first phone call experience.

ABC offers The Communiqué electronically as well as in hard copy, both on a complimentary basis. The Communiqué features articles focusing on the latest hot topics for anesthesiologists, nurse anesthetists, pain management specialists and anesthesia practice administrators.
Tony Mira, President & CEO, explains, “If you are a regular reader of the Communiqué, then the Winter 2015 issue will be of interest to you. We always strive to provide content that reflects reciprocal and often iterative learning. And we are taking it up a notch this issue with a very interesting give-and-take between experts such as Michael Hicks, MD, MBA, and Joe Laden in their article Point-Counterpoint: Do National Anesthesia Management Companies Increase Revenues for Acquired Groups? This discussion began in an electronic list serv on the website of the Medical Group Management Association-Anesthesia Administration Assembly, of which both Dr. Hicks and Mr. Laden are members. The dialogue between Dr. Hicks and Mr. Laden has ended up introducing an important topic that has not been touched on previously in the Communiqué—the inherent limitations of compensation surveys in a consolidating marketplace.
The QCDR is a topic on everyone’s thoughts these days. We attempt to further clarify the topic with a timely article by Richard Dutton, MD, MBA and Matthew Popovich, PhD. Their article on the ASA-Anesthesia Quality Institute’s Quality Clinical Data Registry, QCDR Made Simple—Ha! asks and answers the questions so many of you are raising about the QCDR, and the QCDR’s designers/managers, for example, “What are my options?” and “What measures can I report on?” It is a format that should make it easier for readers to assess whether and how to participate in reporting to the QCDR, even as the registry and its requirements continue to develop.

The Story of the Imaginary Dental GroupDave Edmiston
How a small dental group in Texas made a tremendous difference by helping its patients prevent periodontal disease and its 53 associated medical problems.
This document provides information about an undergraduate project by Rafiandra Widhiansyah to design a medicine case for elderly users. Through user research including interviews and usability testing of existing products, Rafiandra identified needs for a medicine box that could organize multiple medications and remind users to take their medicine. A low-fidelity prototype was developed and evaluated before recommendations for redesign. A second project summary describes the design of a mobile application, Coassdent, to help dental assistants connect with patients to fulfill program requirements.
Still struggling to find the monetary value of a strong patient communications program? This white paper maps the advantages and provides evidence about the ROI of using sustained electronic communications to improve patient satisfaction and outcomes.
Patient experience is closely related to clinical effectiveness and safety. Organizations that are more patient-centered have better outcomes. Improved communication between doctors and patients leads to greater medication compliance and self-management of chronic conditions. Anxiety and fear can delay healing. While terms like "experience" and "satisfaction" are sometimes used interchangeably, they actually refer to different concepts - experience refers to aspects of care, satisfaction is an evaluation of feelings, and outcomes refer to the effect on quality of life. There are information gaps around patient experience in pathways of care, community services, social care, and specific clinical conditions.

Like many other businesses, clinical research also has its imperfections and inefficiencies. Clinical research involves many different parties: research sites, sponsors, CROs, PIs, CRAs, CRCs, patient recruitment agencies, etc. All of these parties play a significant role in the clinical research field.
As clinical research gets bigger and more evolved day by day, so does the need to fix the faulty areas. With the constant growing number of trials, the research industry urgently needs help!

This document describes a capstone project to develop predictive models that rank healthcare providers based on their value by reducing readmissions. A team created models to: 1) Rank providers based on readmission rates and costs to categorize them from best to worst. 2) Predict the value of providers using a multivariate linear model with an R^2 of 0.54. 3) Predict reduced risk-based cost per patient of 1.2% for every 1% increase in the provider value score. The models and an interactive dashboard will help payers and consumers choose higher quality, lower cost providers to improve outcomes and lower healthcare costs.

1) The film Pépé le Moko by Julien Duvivier tells the story of Pépé, a thief who hides out in the Casbah district of Algiers to escape the law.
2) The film examines the sociopolitical dynamics between colonial France and Algeria. It depicts the exotic allure that the Casbah holds for outsiders while also showing the idiosyncrasies of its inhabitants.
3) Following Edward Said's ideas of Orientalism, the film portrays the Casbah and its people as the "other" that Western civilization defines itself against. It also shows cultural exchanges through Pépé's relationship with a French woman.

A study on service quality assessment in state bank of travancoreBella Meraki
This research is an empirical assessment of service quality in State Bank of Travancore. Service Quality is the degree of excellence in the service performance. It is the degree and direction of discrepancy of service quality. The difference between the service expectations and service perceptions of customers is what is termed as service quality gap.
The study has been aimed at diagnosing the quality of service rendered by identifying the service quality gap in the regional branch of State Bank of Travancore in Thiruvananthapuram district and making necessary suggestions.
The data for the study has been collected on the basis of simple random sampling method through a questionnaire prepared for the purpose of being filled in at interviews with customers. The data collected has been classified on the basis of age, gender, occupation, annual income and educational background for the purpose of analysis. The data collected was tabulated with care and thereafter analyzed suitably. The analysis has been done on the basis of STATISTICAL & RANK CORRELATION instrument. The basic assumption of it is that the customers evaluate a firm’s service quality by comparing their five perceptions and expectations. The scaling in SERVICE QUALITY is based on the five dimensions of service quality namely tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, assurance and empathy.
The results of this study also offer support for the intuitive notion that improving service quality can increase the competitiveness of the organization. The report has been presented on the basis of the analysis made and suitable suggestion have been recommended.

The document discusses the challenges of impact measurement for social enterprises. Traditional methods like randomized controlled trials are often too complex, time-consuming and expensive for early-stage social enterprises with limited resources. However, a new "lean data" approach developed by Acumen involves simple, low-cost data collection methods that can still provide high-quality impact data. For example, Acumen worked with an Indian ambulance company to survey customers using a short 10-question poverty survey, revealing valuable insights about who the company served. The lean data approach aims to make impact measurement practical and useful for resource-constrained social enterprises.

Helpful information for sponsors: How to best spend your resources and avoid ...TrialJoin
Conducting a clinical trial as a business is equally important as it is expensive. Saying that this business is ‘’important’’ is actually an understatement, since clinical research is the stepping stone of all medical advancements and new treatments that can help millions of people worldwide. However, the importance of this business is proportional to its cost!
Clinical research is a costly business, and this can be best seen in pharma sponsors. Pharmaceutical companies are usually the ones that sponsor researches for new treatments. Estimations for 2013 show us that the average cost per patient in a clinical trial (all phases, all therapeutic areas) is $36,500. When we take this average number as an example and consider the number of sites a sponsor might need for the study, plus the necessary number of recruited patients (considering that most will not meet the criteria), we can see why this business is so expensive.

Introduction
Purpose of Report
The purpose of this report is to conduct a service audit for Pediatric Dentistry of the Rockies.
The aim is to identify the services provided by the organization to its customers, establish any
gaps that may exist in delivering those services to the best of their ability, and conduct research
into servicescape practices among various services. Once the gaps are identified, and research
has been completed, recommendations will be provided to assist in enhancing the service
provided by Pediatric Dentistry of the Rockies for their customers.
Background
Pediatric Dentistry of the Rockies (PDR) is a dental office for children under the age of 18 in Fort
Collins Colorado. PDR is located in a strip mall, where it has limited space to fit its waiting room,
exam rooms, equipment, and office area. There is one dentist, two dental hygienists, and seven
dental assistants who provide dental care to their customers. The organization typically sees
between 50 and 75 patients a day depending on the time of year (school breaks are busier).
PDR hopes to not only sustain its customers (up to age 18), but also consistently attract new
ones as they each have only a 17 year customer span at most. In addition, they are interested in
improving their service in any way possible.
4. PediatricDentistryof the RockiesService Audit 4
Survey Results
The following summary includes data collected from the current customer survey designed to
gain feedback regarding the services offered by PDR. The survey is one open-ended question
“Can you please tell us about your experience with us today?” and is distributed randomly by
email to customers the day of their visit. The results for this survey were collected from
October 12, 2015 to November 25, 2015. It produced the following data:
17 total responses
Included one open-ended question
0 negative responses
0 suggestions for a better business
Survey Data
Due to the results of the survey (see appendix), there was no stand out area that needed to be
improved upon. Therefore, this audit focusses on possible changes that can be made to
improvement the servicescape.
5. PediatricDentistryof the RockiesService Audit 5
Service Gaps
The following outlines the tool used to analysis the service of Pediatric Dentistry of the Rockies.
The Gaps model of service quality focuses on the customer gap, which is the difference
between customer expectations and perceptions. In order to close the customer gap, four
provider gaps (Listening, Service Design and Standards, Service Performance, and
Communication) should be minimized to achieve the best possible service. These gaps occur
within the organization providing the service. In analyzing the services offered by PDR, the
Listening Gap was found to exist.
Listening Gap
Without a new listening device that uses multiple questions concerning the various gaps, PDR
could continue to see the same results in their surveys. While these could show potential areas
of improvement, none that were collected for this audit did. Therefore as stated above, specific
areas in need of change cannot be specified.
Service Design and Standards Gap
With this audit focusing on the servicescape at PDR, secondary research was conducted for the
waiting room. The resulting findings are described below.
One physician online rating site indicates it has found what makes for a happy patient: a short
time in the waiting room and a longer time in the exam room with the doctor (Dolan, 2012). “If
you leave patients waiting but can convince them you are a caring person, you can still get a
good rating” Steven Feldman, MD, PhD, founder and CEO of DrScore was quoted.
6. PediatricDentistryof the RockiesService Audit 6
In Japan, there have been recent studies regarding making waiting rooms at the nation's
medical institutions into educational venues that provide health classes and nutritional
guidance, according to a team of researchers at the University of Tokyo's graduate school of
public policy (The Daily Yomiuri, 2013).
A study conducted in Canada showed spending time in a less hospital-like setting, can be an
effective distraction and make time pass more quickly (Fantoni, 2013). Another study that
investigated this same issue found very successful results when they implemented a “Kids
Zone” with toys, games (even including an Xbox and video arcade), and books to keep children
happy while they wait (Mclaughlin, 2013).
A car dealership had been noticing how many customers were in their waiting room at a
time, and the only thing their competitors were doing to address this was to make the rooms
bigger. This was not sufficient for them though, so they looked into what other service
waiting rooms were doing. They found some brands modeling their waiting rooms on upscale
coffee bars (Automotive News, 2014). McConnell said, "People's expectations of the waiting
room have increased by a tremendous amount." Therefore they took the opportunity to get a
leg up on their competition and implement this into their own waiting room.
Employees at the Bollywood Country Publication were curious why whenever they went into
a doctor’s office that all the magazines were so old. To learn the possible reasons, they
conducted an investigation that produced the following results. Gossip magazines (defined as
having five or more photographs of celebrities on the front cover) were over 14 times more
likely to disappear at any time than non-gossip magazines (Bollywood Country, 2014). In
7. PediatricDentistryof the RockiesService Audit 7
addition, current magazines were more likely to go missing than older ones. In total though,
all magazines experienced a disappearance rate of 1.32 magazines each day, thus leaving
only the outdated magazines for future customers.
The claim“We have the prettiest stores, bar none” is not typical for a tire store. But Rick
Johnson of Rick Johnson Auto & Tire decided to change the usual tire store look and be able
to confidently make this claim(Tire Business, 2007). Designed by women for women, the
dealership's stores feature waiting rooms with couches, bistro tables, flat-screen TVs, Wi-Fi,
Starbuck's coffee, and bathrooms ``that are better than in my house,'' Mr. Johnson said. The
waiting rooms are so comfortable, he added, that there are times ``our female customers are
falling asleep.'' This major change in the look and feel of his business has resulted in a
significant increase in their female customer base.
8. PediatricDentistryof the RockiesService Audit 8
Recommendations
After gaining understanding of the services offered by PDR, using the gaps model to analyze the
organization’s service, I have concluded the following recommendations.
Create New Listening Device
A new listening device needs to be constructed and implemented by PDR. A potential one has
been provided in the appendix. By using this new listening device, PDR will be able to analyze
the data and deduct what aspects of the business could use improvement.
Compile and Use Data
While PDR does have a listening device in place, they do not currently use it for anything.
Therefore, once a new listening device is in place they should compile the data. This will allow
for all the survey results to come together and form the big picture of what customers think.
After compiling the information, PDR will be able to analyze the data and take actions where
needed. Data should be tabulated and analyzed every 6 months to stay up to date with all
implemented changes and the resulting customer opinions. Furthermore, actions should be
subsequently taken after each analyzation.
Improve Servicescape
To improve customer experience some innovating and leading practices were investigated
concerning waiting rooms. The relationships focused on were with both children and their
parents.
9. PediatricDentistryof the RockiesService Audit 9
Children
In order to receive better ratings and keep customers happier, we do not want to plan for
customers being in the waiting room very long. Therefore, we want to keep any activities short
and offer multiple activities to keep customers occupied, all the while keeping an educational
theme to remind parents we care about their children. The implementations I recommend
adding to the existing activities include coloring pages with an educational theme and a TV with
educational children’s TV shows (i.e. Veggie Tales, Blues Clues, Bob the Builder, etc.). To assist
in distracting children from the fact that they are at the dentist and keep them calm,
comfortable couches and colorful wall decals (possibly a giant “Where's Waldo?” poster,
Fatheads, or a painted mural) are recommended. For older clients who are not interested in
these activities, I recommend offering free Wi-Fi so they can play games on either their own or
their parent’s mobile device.
Parents
My recommendations to keep parents happy as well include additional handouts that are
strategically placed around the office, not just at the registrar’s desk. Additionally, adding
another TV in the waiting room with dental facts keeps the parents informed about their child’s
health. For the parents looking for further ways to pass the time, I recommend keeping the
magazine subscriptions currently in place with supplementary weekly purchases of magazines
that seem to go missing the most. Also, for the parents possibly looking to get work done due
to the fact that they are missing work to take their child to the dentist, I recommend offering
free Wi-Fi. Still keeping in mind that parents have to take the time out of their day to take their
10. PediatricDentistryof the RockiesService Audit 10
child to the dentist, I recommend placing a Keurig coffee maker and a mini fridge with bottled
water in the waiting room due to the possibility that it could be a parent’s only chance of
getting coffee that day. If a location change occurs, I recommend making these beverages
available exclusively through a full fledge drink stand with its own barista.
