When people think of the term "Rapid-Response" in healthcare, they seldom think of patient satisfaction. However, in today's day and age, responding to patient perceptions is as important as responding to their physical needs. "Patient care" is as much about treating the whole person, as it is treating specific clinical conditions.

Most surveys provide statistical data but do not offer enough in terms of action or improvement. Reports are either too complicated, too dated, unreliable, lack detailed comments, or are simply not used effectively. We have responded to these expressed needs (by healthcare managers) to develop a system that uses a customized tool to actually drive service excellence process and cultural improvement. Much more than a survey, the Rapid-Response System offer hands-on support to help utilize the reports in the following ways:

-Utilize reports to align with strategic goals
-Engage staff with reports and action planning
-Use reports for individual and department reward and recognition
-Facilitate leadership review and action planning
-Provide training and process improvement facilitation

Measuring and improving patient satisfaction is one of the highest ROI investments a healthcare organization can make. Not only are credible outcome measures generated for funding sources, JCAHO, and other stakeholders, but organizational culture and processes can be dramatically improved. This in turn improves patient satisfaction, resulting in volume increase, patient-directed improvements, risk reduction, and ultimately improved financial performance.

The Rapid-Response System is applicable to almost any healthcare delivery organization serving patients, including community health centers, hospitals, outpatient centers, clinics, home-health, or physician practices. And this system can be designed to accommodate almost any budget.
