SERVICE EXCELLENCE
As part of our mission, we have a committment to service excellence. We use an external customer service survey firm (Press-Ganey Associates) to measure the service we are providing to our patients and their families. We measure ourselves against national benchmarks for service excellence.
All unit supervisors track survey results on a weekly, monthly, and quarterly basis and make adjustments accordingly. We take the results seriously: five service excellence teams made up of employees from across the organization are empowered to assist unit supervisors to improve service based on customer feedback. It is our goal to exceed the 90th percentile for patient satisfaction nationwide.
