satisfaction is an important and commonly used indicator for measuring the quality in
health care. Patient satisfaction affects clinical outcomes, patient retention, and medical
malpractice claims. It affects the timely, efficient, and patient-cantered delivery of quality
health care. The objectiveof patient satisfaction are Patient satisfaction efforts need to shift
away from simply “making patient happy” to delivering individualized treatment to optimize
care. Deliveringthe right thing for the right patent when & where they need it.
Problem Identification- The problem of OPD area are lack of housekeeping staff, public
holiday not clearly display on the notice board, prolonged waiting time in the registration &

18. INTRODUCTION ABOUT SPELIZALIZED DEPARTMENT:-
Two month Internship form part of the course curriculum, providing a practical and first
hand expose of the healthcare industry as the final year student. It is meant to be a
preparatory tool towards making a future as a health care leader who can manage,
initiate and innovate changes in this evolving sector of the India economy and provide it
with standards that are accepted as the best internationally.
I consider myself to be fortunate to have got this exposure in the largest corporate
hospital of the country ,boasting a successful standing .the learning that I extracted from
the experience not only enriched me in terms of providing knowledge as to how a
corporate hospital runs but also gave me insights into my own selves ,inparting priceless
lessons of patients ,dedication and importance of good communication.
OPERATIONAL DEFINITIONS:-
Patient satisfaction-the degree to which the individual perceives health care service
provided by nurses in selected department as useful, effective or beneficial as measured
by using patient satisfaction with nursing care quality questionnaire.
Patient satisfaction is one of the important goals of my health system, but it is difficult to
measure the satisfaction and gauze responsiveness of health systems as not only the
clinical but also the non clinical outcomes of care do influence the customer satisfaction
patients perception about health care system seem to have been largely ignored by
health care managers in developing countries. patient satisfaction depends upon many
factors such as: quality of clinical services provided , availability of medicine , behavior of
doctors and other health stuff, cost of service, hospital infrastructure physical comfort,
emotional support, and respect for patient preferences. Mismatch between patient
expectation and the service received is related to decreased satisfaction therefore
assessing, patient perspectives gives them a voice ,which can make public health services
more responsive to people needs and expectations.
It provides the chance to healthcare patients feedback is necessary to identify problems
that need to be resolved in improving the health services. Even if they do not use this
information systematically to improve care delivery and services, this type of feedback
triggers a real interest that can lead to a change in their culture and in their perception of
patients.

19. PATIENT
Patient is a person who is ill or is undergoing treatment for disease. There is considerable
debate regarding the appropriate use of this term. In some institutional settings it is not
used because it is thought to denote a dependent relationship on the part of the person
undergoing treatment. The words client, resident and at times guest can also be also to
refer to a person receiving treatment.
Concept of Satisfaction:-
Satisfaction is an important element in the evaluation stage. It refers to the consumers
state of being adequately rewarded. Adequacy of satisfaction is a result of matching the
actual past experience with the expected reward. Patient form certain expectations prior
to the visit. Once patient come to the hospital and experience the facilities, they may
then become either satisfied or dissatisfied, Satisfaction or dissatisfaction refers to
emotional response to the evaluation of the service, consumption, experience. It will
have five key elements. They are:
 Expectations: The seeds of patient satisfaction are sowed during the pre-purchase
phase when consumers develop expectations or beliefs about what they expect to
receive from the product. This expectations are carried forward and again activated
at the time of reusing.
 Performance: During the usage of services the patients experience the actual
product in use and perceive is performance on the dimensions that are important to
us.
 Confirmation: Comparison of expectations with actual performance results in
satisfaction or dissatisfaction.
 Discrepancy: If the performance levels are not equal discrepancy results.
Benefits of Patient Satisfaction Survey:-
Customer satisfaction survey are very important to marketer because it is a significant
determinant of repeat sales, positive word-of-mouth, consumer loyalty. Customer
satisfaction is very important for marketer as 1% increase in customer satisfaction can

20. lead to 3% increase in market capitalization. It has been observed that it costs three to
four times money to acquire new customer than to make repeat sales to an existing one.
To estimate present level of the quality of services and medical facilities .
This helps to improve further services and facilities that are not up to the mark.
Efforts made to find out the service users through patient satisfaction surveys even help
to develop quality initiatives in many practices.
It often helps to provide salient information for clinics and hospitals seeking to develop
service provision.
Patient satisfaction pays:-
Greater profitability
Improved patient retention and patient loyalty
Increased patient referrals
Improved compliance
Improved productivity
Better stuff morale
Reduce stuff turnover
Improved collections
Greater efficiency
Reduce risk of malpractice suit
Personal and professional fulfillment
The process of ensuring patient satisfaction:
Patient satisfaction= clinical quality + service quality

21. Quality :-
It is defined as an inherent and distinctive attribute of a product or service .common
measures of quality are still structural measures- the condition of physical structure, floor
space per bed, facilities for emergency power and lighting in operating rooms , inspection
and cleaning of air intake sources, facilities for disposal of infectious waste , fire control and
many more. Additional standards for facilities and equipment have been established by the
joint commission on accreditation of the hospitals by state licensing boards, etc. these
personnel, safety and cleanliness of facilities and equipment.
Patient satisfaction benchmarking:-
People involved with a relatively large hospital may have already put into place a patient
satisfaction tracking mechanism. If not, chances are that they have a least thought about
such a survey .regardless of whether they currently are monitoring their patient’s
satisfaction ,it is important to note that a patient satisfaction tracking program , by itself,
will not give them a full picture of satisfaction in the marketplace.
One excellent way to benchmark is to periodically touch with your competitors patients .a
random survey of the market will reach these patients . many people use their extensive
network to find from people who recently have been in the hospital and to ask them about
their experience.

22. DEALING WITH PATIENT COMPLAINTS:-
When Patient contact hospital to complain about a product or service received ,it can be
a blessing in disguise. for every person who complains, there can be hundreds do not
bother to complain but who also spread negative comments about the hospital.
In situation where customer complains occur, the complaint must be deal with
immediately and the cause of the complaint rectified. Some hospitals are not concerned
with quality and often ignore complaints or deal with them dishonestly. seeking customer
Satisfaction benefits a hospital in the long run.

23. OBJECTIVES
Healthcare institutions are primarily patient centric. Patient satisfaction is the strongest
determinant of hospital functioning. Ultimate goal of the hospital is satisfaction of its
customers. Not only to satisfy and care for patients & families, but also a positive
outcome for your staff, your community and your organization’s health . Patient
satisfaction depends on workers motivation, dedication and duty towards the patient.
