Abstract:
Patient satisfaction and the willingness to recommend a hospital are critical for healthcare quality improvement. This study focuses on orthopedic patients, recognizing their unique healthcare experiences. We aimed to explore factors influencing orthopedic patients' willingness to recommend the hospital, considering various demographic and clinical variables. A cross-sectional survey of 200 orthopedic patients hospitalized between July and December 2023 in north-central Israel was conducted. Results revealed a positive association between age and willingness to recommend (odds ratio [OR] = 2.44), while emergency department stay length showed a negative association (OR = 0.58). Satisfaction with hospital care positively influenced the willingness to recommend (OR = 1.96). Gender, comorbidities, and hospital stay length did not significantly impact willingness to recommend. The study highlights the role of satisfaction and the impact of extended emergency department stays, emphasizing the need for nuanced strategies to optimize orthopedic patient experiences. Valuable insights are offered for healthcare providers and policymakers.
