25 Ways to Improve Your
Patient Satisfaction Scores
Making sure patients are happy
and satisfied — and enthusiastically
spreading the word about your
good work — is more important
than ever. Medicare reimburse-
ments and your reputation depend
on how patients rate you on
satisfaction surveys. Barbara J.
Holder, RN, BSN, LHRM, CAPA, the
QI coordinator at the Andrews
Institute Ambulatory Surgery
Center in Gulf Breeze, Fla., will
share the secrets to supercharge
those scores, with tips on pain
control, PONV, painless IV starts,
SSI rates, follow-up phone calls
and more. Bring pen and paper
because Ms. Holder promises you'll
leave with lots of great takeaways
you can implement in your facility.
Register now at orexcellence.com
to see Ms. Holder and our other
great speakers Oct. 11-13 at the
Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa
in Las Vegas.
