6. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Introduction- The outpatient department is an important part of the overall running of
the hospital. Many patients are examined and given treatment as outpatients before
being admitted to the hospital at a later date as inpatients. When discharged, they may
attend the outpatient Clinics to follow up department.
Objectives- The objectives of the study are to understand the history, functioning &
workflow of the hospital, to observe the functioning of the Out-patient department, to
analyse the patient satisfaction survey, to identify the gaps and to recommend if any.
Broad Overview- My project based on “PATIENT SATISFCTION OF OPD”.
Patient 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 objective of patient satisfaction are Patient
satisfaction efforts need to shift away from simply “making patients happy” to
delivering individualized treatment to optimize care. Delivering the right thing for the
right patient 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 & billing counter, Delays for collection of laboratory specimens &
payments.
Recommendation- The recommendations of OPD are- the no. of housekeeping staff
should be increased, no of billing counter as well as billing staff should be recruited,
public holidays should be clearly displayed on the notice board.
Conclusion- The total no. of respondents was 200 & the total number of questions
were 5. So the total number of respondents were 1000. Among 1000 responses, 760
responses were satisfied and 240 responses were dissatisfied. This project took me
through the various phases of project development and gave me real insight into
the world of the hospital.

20. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
J Cutan Aesthet Surg . 2010 Sep-Dec 3(3) 151-155 Bhanu Prakash
Patient 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-centered delivery of quality
health care. Patient satisfaction is thus a proxy but a very effective indicator to measure the
success of doctors and hospitals. This article discusses as to how to ensure patient satisfaction in
dermatological practice.
Nettle man MD
Clinical Performance and Quality Health Care [01 Jan 1998, 6(1):33-
37]
The past decade has seen increased attention focused on patient satisfaction; however, there are
no universally accepted means of measuring patient satisfaction. A review of recent studies
reveals some interesting findings. Satisfaction has been shown to be related directly to patient
expectations; however, intuitive physician judgments about patient expectations may not
correlate with true expectations. Further, patient satisfaction may not correlate with the level of
clinical outcome. Recent advances have changed our understanding of this complex field.
Redmond GM , Sorrell JM
Outcomes Management for Nursing Practice [01 Apr 1999, 3(2):6772]
The purpose of this qualitative research study was to describe the lived experience and
satisfaction of 20 patients after discharge from two acute care rural hospitals. Issues
involved in measuring patient satisfaction are discussed in this article. Results of the
research are discussed within the themes of (1) knowledgeable watchfulness, (2) thoughtful
presencing, and (3) hospital: home and homeless. One pattern, nursing as a bridge, was
found throughout the interviews. The authors recommend incorporating qualitative
components in the study of patient satisfaction to capture the subtle, invisible ways that
nursing interventions can enhance patient satisfaction with quality health care.
Bell R , Krivich MJ , Boyd MS
Marketing Health Services [01 Jan 1997, 17(2):22-29]

21. The importance of maintaining high levels of patient satisfaction has been well researched
and thoroughly documented. Patient satisfaction can be measured, changed, controlled, and
managed effectively to aid in improvement quality.
Nevertheless, little research has been conducted to determine how patient satisfaction affects
quality or how satisfaction strategies affect patients' perceptions. The authors of this study view
patient satisfaction as a value-added component. They present a statistical process control-chart
method that can help implement and evaluate a CQI strategy for improving patient satisfaction.
The study illustrates how to measure patient satisfaction, create control charts, interpret the
results, and develop administrative applications aimed at fulfilling a CQI strategy.
Rashid Al-Abri Rashid Al-Abri* and Amine Al-Balushi Over
Over the past 20 years, patient satisfaction surveys have gained increasing attention as meaningful
and essential sources of information for identifying gaps and developing an effective action plan
for quality improvement in healthcare organizations. However, there are very few published
studies reporting of the improvements resulting from feedback information of patient satisfaction
surveys, and in most cases, these studies are contradictory in their findings. This article
investigates in-depth a number of research studies that critically discuss the relationship of
dependent and independent influential attributes towards overall patient satisfaction in addition
to its impact on the quality improvement process of healthcare organizations.

22. OBJECTIVE
 To understand the history, functioning & workflow of the hospital
To observe the functioning of the Out-patient department.
To analyse the patient satisfaction survey
To identify the gaps
To recommend if any.

23. INTRODUCTION-
BROAD OVERVIEW
Patient 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-centered delivery of quality health care.
OBECTIVE-
The main objective of this paper is to share the findings on patients' satisfaction about
various components of out-door patient department (OPD) services. In this study, the
OPD is defined as the hospital's department where patients received diagnoses and/or
treatment but did not stay overnight.
DETERMINANTS OF PATIENT SATISFACTION-
In the increasingly competitive market of healthcare industries, healthcare
managers should focus on achieving high or excellent ratings of patient satisfaction
to improve the quality of service delivery; therefore, healthcare managers need to
characterize the factors influencing patient satisfaction which are used as a means
to assess the quality of healthcare delivery. In order to understand various factors
affecting patient satisfaction, researchers have explored various dimensions of the
perceived service quality, as meaningful and essential measures of patient
perception of healthcare quality. Kaneet et al. (1997) and Marley et al. stated that
measuring satisfaction should "incorporate dimensions of technical, interpersonal,
social, and moral aspects of care".2 Research of patient satisfaction in advanced as
well as developing countries has many common and some

24. unique variables and attributes that influence overall
patient satisfaction.

real insight into the world of the hospital. The joy of working and the thrill involved while
handling the various problems and challenges gave me the feel of the hospital industry.
It was due to this project I came to know how the hospital management
systems are designed and how the hospital works and the various procedures.
I enjoyed each and every bit of work I had put into this project.
