Most of us bicker about press ganeys and how deceiving and inaccurate they are in regards to scoring patient satisfaction. I've been thinking about what we could do to improve those scores, but with the type of patients we see on a daily basis, it's just so hard to formulate a one size fits all. Maybe that's just it, one size wont fit all and we need different scoring systems for different sets of patients..
As much as we like to ignore the fact that healthcare a business, it is what it is. Patient satisfaction scores wont disappear.. Has anyone thought about a better system we could use? I hope to see it improve some day.. because it's bogus how it is right now, and it affects the way each doctor practices medicine, if you want to call it "medicine".
Anyway, just wanted to see if anyone had any good ideas out there.. Maybe we can spark some minds to advocate for change, although it's hard to see since press ganey has become such a powerhouse
