Patient satisfaction is important for public accountability and quality improvement. It measures how useful, effective, or beneficial patients find healthcare services. Factors influencing satisfaction include quality/competency of providers, information/explanations, wait times, cost, effectiveness/appropriateness of care, amenities, and continuity of care. Surveys are conducted to evaluate satisfaction through structured questionnaires, discharge interviews, and suggestion/complaint boxes. Feedback is processed, actions are implemented, and satisfaction levels are periodically reviewed.
