Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Patient Experience Research
  • Service Quality Assessment

Context:

  • Focuses on user expectations within a specific hospital setting (San Juan de Dios del Aljarafe).
  • Examines the perceived quality of care and the portfolio of services offered to patients.
  • Utilizes a cross-sectional study design with focus groups to gather user feedback.

Purpose:

  • To understand patient expectations regarding hospital services and care quality.
  • To identify highly valued and least valued aspects of healthcare delivery.
  • To enhance public awareness of the hospital's service offerings.

Summary:

  • A cross-sectional study involving 66 users across 9 age-based focus groups identified 148 user expectations.
  • Key positive feedback included readily available medical information, knowledge of services, and humane professional treatment.
  • Areas for improvement centered on reduced waiting lists, enhanced public transport, streamlined appointment management, and expanded medical specialties.

Impact:

  • Highlights specific areas of high user satisfaction (e.g., single rooms, staff demeanor).
  • Pinpoints aspects needing improvement, such as waiting times, diagnostic test efficiency, and appointment scheduling.
  • Identifies critical areas for strategic development, including transport, information dissemination, service portfolio awareness, and specialty offerings.
