Patient Satisfaction
Patient satisfaction isn’t just about kindness — it reflects how patients perceive access, communication, support, and care quality. In today’s healthcare system, satisfaction is tied to loyalty, outcomes, engagement, and reimbursement.
"If a patient feels unheard or lost in the system, the experience fails — no matter how good the treatment."
