HCPro and Press Ganey have teamed up to create this tool for you. Making it Right: Healthcare Service Recovery Tools, Techniques, and Best Practices is a unique and authoritative resource and training tool to increase patient satisfaction and improve your bottom line.

  • What do you do when healthcare service fails?

  • How should you react when a patient complains or expresses concern?

This resource kit takes you step-by-step through the process of creating an effective service recovery program. With Making it Right, you'll have the tools and information you need to transform your organization from one that avoids complaints, to an organization that is empowered, patient-centered, and ready to handle service failures.

 

The success of any healthcare facility depends on an effective service recovery system. Failure to resolve a patient's problem, whether real or perceived, or to make amends to the patient will definitely result in an unhappy patient - and a possible lawsuit. Fortunately, it is possible to mitigate the impact of flawed healthcare service.

 

By exceeding expectations in the way you address the situation, you can re-capture the loyalty of a wronged patient, and send your patient satisfaction scores through the roof. By relying on this dependable, authoritative resource to create, implement and maintain a service recovery program, you can achieve success with:

  • high patient satisfaction

  • profitable financial returns

  • regulatory compliance

  • measurable results to show to others

This must-have guide uses valuable real-life, world-class case studies to illustrate essential service recovery principles. Readers will benefit from these compelling examples of how other healthcare organizations have created successful programs to enhance their service recovery and improve patient satisfaction.

It's one thing to make a mistake. It's another to add insult to injury by neglecting to address the problem, or by responding inappropriately. In fact, the way your organization reacts when something goes wrong profoundly affects your patients' overall healthcare experience, and ultimately their satisfaction with your facility. You'll not only increase your patient satisfaction scores and encourage positive word of mouth, you'll also improve your organization's bottom line.

This book is from Press Ganey, the thought leaders in patient satisfaction. Making it Right draws on the expertise and experiences of Press Ganey Consultants and clients.
