Objective:
To construct a satisfaction evaluation indicator system based on patients' experiences of medical services.
Methods:
A questionnaire was designed by expert interview and literature review and 400 copies were randomly handed out to inpatients and outpatients from five 3A-public hospitals in Shanghai. The patient's evaluation of importance of various factors in medical services was analyzed and the mean and weight of indicators in terms of recognition, importance and evaluation were determined to establish a satisfaction evaluation indicator system.
Results:
A total of 396 valid questionnaires were retrieved, with an effective response rate of 99%. By analyzing survey data, the patient satisfaction evaluation indicator system was constructed with 5 primary indicators (hospital environment, medical procedures, attitude, and quality of care and patient rights) and 25 secondary indicators (convenient hospital environment, auxiliary facilities, reasonable arrangement, clearly mark, convenient appointment, simple procedures, short time, the attitude of medical staff, solutions of medical dispute, medical technology, treatment, medical equipment, medical expenses, respect, patient privacy, etc.).
Conclusion:
A patient satisfaction evaluation indicator system has been established based on patients' experience of medical services in the study, which may be applicable to measure patients' satisfaction and to improve medical services in hospitals.
