What We Learned: The May 2011 Benchmarks in Patient Satisfaction e-survey by the Healthcare Intelligence Network captured the details of how organizations are working to improve patients’ and members’ experience and satisfaction with their care.

Responses provided by 146 healthcare organizations indicate that quality of care is the most important aspect of the care delivery experience and that communication is the one area of the patient experience that needs the most improvement. According to respondents, healthcare professionals principally responsible for improving the patient's care experience are:

  • Other: 39 percent

  • Physician: 36 percent

  • Case manager: 19 percent

  • Nurse practitioner: 6 percent
