One of our small inpatient clinical
areas identified that its patient
satisfaction scores were below the
national benchmark for four specific
questions. The CONE team established
a rounding process specific
to their clinical area and patient
population. They also created a simulation
experience that mimics the
unit’s activities to provide an opportunity
for staff to practice patient
and family interventions with peer
feedback. This clinical area was able
to improve its patient satisfaction
scores for all four questions, and for
three consecutive quarters has been
above the national benchmark.
