Evaluation Of A Customer Relation Assignment : Observation Of Three Different Healthcare Service Organizations

The customer service personnel should be in a position to acknowledge their clients and pay attention well to whatever they say and put into practice active listening. They should also give a chance to the customers to respond to the services the company offers perhaps through the enterprise’s website. For any company to prosper, good customer relation is paramount in building a loyal

First impressions matter, according to Whitmore (2014) “we make judgments about the professionalism, character and competence of others based on first impressions”. I believe this to be true. Healthcare today has become customer-based industry. I work for a large insurance company and our focus is obtaining and maintaining our customer base. We strive to provide the best customer experience possible. Twenty years ago, that might have not been a concern, but with the increase in specialization and competition, most providers are aware of the need for superior customer service.

Customer service is the most important aspect of any business. Without an adequate relationship with its consumer base, a company is at an enormous disadvantage.

According to the survey, our patients didn’t enjoy their experience before their appointment. 73% of patients said that the receptionist did not greet them immediately. I know this was the case when I walked in for my meeting. The receptionist was on her phone texting instead of being aware of patients that could potentially be walking into the facility. Although the receptionist doesn’t greet them right away, 67% of people agree she was respectful and courteous. However, the biggest issue lies with patients not understanding the co-pay and possibility of additional costs. This is a problem that can be fixed easily, we just need to retrain our receptionists to greet each patient with a warm smile, and how to fully explain the costs that patients are required to pay. The receptionist play an important role in customer service, therefore they must be at the top of their game at all times. In order to fix the overall patient experience at our urgent care facility, I think we need to send out more surveys and bring back the follow-up calls. The follow up calls are important because patients will be able to express any concerns they had with their visit and we would be able to

This is especially important in the healthcare system because all service should start with a smile. One should exhibit customer service in the healthcare system by demonstrating common courtesy, creating or controlling the proper environment, and even becoming the patient in order to best serve and understand their needs no matter the circumstance or presuming attitude. Customer service is just as important as the treatment process and both should be shown in a professional, pleasant, and responsible manner. The better the customer service, the more customer satisfaction, which retains patients and can also contribute to their health and attitude.

Customer complaints have over doubled in the last few years. This shows some big issues in the customer service management. Research which areas customers are most dissatisfied with and support the staff in gaining new skills to meet the customers ever changing needs.

When it comes to managing a successful organization or a business, the one consumer whose opinions and relations matter would have to lie in the customer. In the case of medical services those affairs would lie mostly in the actions and satisfactions of the patients. In the medical community, their ratings and performances are measured through the customer relations departments. Grievances and complaints have shaped the world of medical policies, procedures, terms of conduct and response to grievances.

The emergency room (ER) has been receiving a lot of complaints recently and the chief executive officer, it was decided to find out the root cause of the complaints. This was done in two ways. First is that two individuals were granted the role of observing customers in various locations for about 2 hours per location for a period of one week. They were required to note any issue that arose leading to problems. The second way was that customer feedback forms were introduced in all major rooms of the ER to capture the customer experiences. The observations and feedback was collected, collated, prioritized and discussed. The ER was found to be receiving an average of 9.8 complaints per day which was higher than the average for many other facilities ADDIN EN.CITE Zuckerman20041264(Zuckerman & Shen, 2004)1264126417Zuckerman, StephenShen, Yu-ChuCharacteristics of Occasional and Frequent Emergency Department Users: Do Insurance Coverage and Access to Care Matter?Medical CareMedical Care176-1824222004Lippincott Williams & Wilkins00257079http://www.jstor.org/stable/464071510.2307/4640715( HYPERLINK l "_ENREF_7" o "Zuckerman, 2004 #1264" Zuckerman & Shen, 2004).

The research topic that the author chose in this article is “Measurement of outpatients’ views of service quality in a Finnish university hospital.” The article has submitted for publication on the 16th of May, 2001, and was accepted for publication on the 3rd of January, 2002.

You walk into the building, check in, then sit down in the waiting room. You try to sit comfortably and read the magazines that are provided for customers. But you know it’s no use. You’re too nervous and scared to do anything else. You can only wait in the sitting area, palms sweating and the constant shaking of your leg keeping you from absolutely losing it. You can only sit there and fill time till the dentist calls you in for your appointment. Through the years I’ve heard many stories of their dental experiences. Sometimes the stories are very dramatic and overall horrifying. Other times the stories are bright and went very easy for that person. I, on the other hand, have had a wonderful dental experience with your company, Mr. Kushner. I am an eighth grade student from Silver Hills Middle School, I am fifteen years old, and in Mrs. Moncada’s fifth period class. I was a loyal patient who would go to your business once a month for about two years. And before my experience there, my sister had been a patient for an additional two

Healthcare has become a consumer driven industry with patient satisfaction equating to good customer service. Effective communication has been shown to be a key factor in both patient outcomes and satisfaction. Additionally, patient satisfaction has become a tool used by insurers to evaluate medical facilities and may impact reimbursement to hospitals for patient care. In this paper, I will discuss the issue of ineffective communication in the waiting area of the surgical services department at Mount Carmel East Hospital. The impact of ineffective communication effects patients and members of the perioperative team. Results of patient surveys

For the workplace project, I decided to do my own worksite. Archstone Dental is a general family practice. The patients that typically visit the office range from six months of age up to the elderly. The practice has been offering dental services to the community for nine years. As a registered dental assistant, my purpose is to help patients feel comfortable before, during and after dental treatment. When going around the worksite there were many obvious risks as well as unseen risks. The findings included exposures to x-ray radiation, allergic reactions, musculoskeletal disorder, infectious hazards, trips, slips and falls, anesthetic gasses, burns and scalds from autoclave, eye injury, hearing loss, toxicity from sterilization methods, carpal

Customer services is a very important part of managing ongoing client/patient relationships, because they are the key to bringing in revenue. The concept of customer service is to deliver outstanding services so the customers will have a great experience. I currently work in the healthcare industry and the company that I work for is starting to have trainings and meetings to improve customer service to our clients to help increase our patient satisfaction levels. There are some employees who strive to help the patient by going far and beyond their line of duties, and as others are burned out and feel like they just need to get the patient in and out without really understanding the patient’s needs or

Customer service is developed by the patient’s satisfaction and the effect it has on the health care system. Customer service is the face of every business and specially the health care system which it provides leaders with an idea of how the business should look or act. The healthcare systems benefit from the opportunities made by patients. Patients should be the instrument to provide guidance while the physician advocates for the patient’s health. Customer service is a support system between the patient and the physician and without that support system then there is not guidance for a better lifestyle for patients. This is a competitive market that have a few limitations and those limitations start with customer service in healthcare and how to provide the best care for patients. These challenges that the healthcare system face will overcome those obstacles and bring out their best principles to make the system better. Patient centered care relates to customer service and should be recognized as the central focus. High- quality healthcare systems provide satisfaction to patients to show that their experience will be well worth it because their physicians care about their patient’s health.
