Thank you for the great scores!
Since May, 2006, the federal government has looked at healthcare with the same eye towards customer service as the mom and pop grocery store down the street. Only in the case of the federal government, they tied reimbursement compensation for Medicare payments to the 'voluntary' solicitation of customer feedback from hospitals nationwide. We just received the results for the 4th Qtr 2007 through 3rd Qtr 2008 and we'd like to share with you! We're proud to say that 89% of patients that used BGH during this time period, rated us either a 9 or a 10, on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the BEST! AND, 93% of those replying to the questionnaire said our Doctors "always" communicated well. 91% of patients responding said that our Nurses communicated well with them! 83% of our patients surveyed said that their pain was 'always' well controlled; 85% said they 'always' received help as soon as they wanted. AND....92% of our patients said they would definitely recommend our hospital to others!
That word "ALWAYS" is key to the results. Check your dictionary as "always" means just that...at all times; on all occasions; continuously; forever.
Just like our slogan says..."We'll Take Good Care of You." Maybe we ought to add another word....Always.
