Description

Most people have experienced frustration at least once when talking with customer service. Often, organizations provide satisfaction surveys to customers to evaluate their experience. In the health care field, accrediting agencies require providers to measure patient satisfaction through surveys. The purpose of this assignment is to apply the processes involved to develop an improvement plan that will prevent similar customer complaints.

You must download and use the Customer Satisfaction Improvement Plan template to complete this assignment. Do not write a separate paper. Note: If you have responded substantively to each of the content items within the template of the assignment, the template document you submit should be between three and four pages in length.

  • Choose one of the customer experience scenario options below:
    • Customer contacted a health plan customer service department but could not understand the representative.
    • Customer scheduled an appointment with a primary care physician for an acute illness, and there were no appointments available.
    • Customer had an appointment for lab testing or a diagnostic test (e.g., MRI, CT scan, etc.), and the facility environment was disorderly and unclean.
    • Customer visited the Emergency Department (ED), also known as Emergency Room, but the wait time was extensive (over three hours).
    • A customer called the doctor after normal office hours ended. The primary care doctor advised the patient to go to Urgent Care (UC). After paying the $50 co-pay, the UC physician told the patient to go to the ER because the issue was more severe than could be managed at the UC clinic.
    • A knee-replacement patient was given discharge instructions upon discharge that included taking a pain medication every four to six hours. However, when the patient arrived home, the prescription was not in his discharge paperwork. The hospital informed the patient he would have to come back to pick up the written prescription to get it filled, as it cannot be called in to the pharmacy.

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION IMPROVEMENT PLAN
Scenario

2

A customer scheduled an appointment with a primary care physician for an
acute illness. The primary care physician said that there were no available
appointments at that time. The sickness needed consultation from a
professional, assessment, physical examination, the correct diagnosis and
the right administration of treatment. From the physical examination, the
patient reported having a pain score of 7 from abdominal pain, general body
malaise, nausea, fever, and vomiting. The symptoms required an
appointment, but there were none available. An acute illness refers to the
sudden onset of symptoms that takes a short duration (Mulryan, 2011). The
condition may at times be an emergency depending on the discomfort of the
patient. With a pain score of 7, then it means that the patient was
uncomfortable. Customer service refers to the provision of assistance and
advice from an employee to the patients (Baird, 2014). In business,
customer service means offering assistance and guidance to the customers.

Different three data elements would be gathered in this to ensure that the
