2023 Patient Satisfaction Survey

The measure of patient satisfaction in delivering health-focused care has seen a notable increase over the last decade. Individuals seeking healthcare services at the local level seek outcomes that not only alleviate their symptoms but also leave them feeling satisfied with their overall experience. As every patient harbors subjective beliefs and criteria for defining quality service, often shaped by their perceptions during healthcare appointments, it has become essential for healthcare leaders to understand their organization’s current measure of patient satisfaction. Implementing methodologies that consistently uphold this standard at a superior level is imperative for ensuring a high-value healthcare experience.

Excelsia Injury Care (Excelsia) and 60 Decibels, an independent consulting group focused on social impact, conducted an in-depth patient survey with the goal of understanding its patients' journey and the resulting outcomes. A survey using the Net Promoter Score® (NPS), a common gauge of client satisfaction and loyalty that measures ratings on a scale of -100 to 100, along with other experience-related questions using the Likert scale, was completed by Excelsia patients following their treatment.

A person’s experience in a healthcare facility is not linear; many individuals consider a variety of factors when evaluating an appointment, inclusive of encounters undergone before, during, and after a service. Patients may reflect on what led them to the appointment and the ease of the scheduling process; they may compare aspects of the appointment to other alternative offerings in the field. They will almost certainly assess the post-treatment outcomes and recovery potential. Excelsia is strongly committed to delivering the best-in-class, patient-centric care services, and it is demonstrated through the insights discovered above
