Influence of Clinical-Care Factors on Patient Satisfaction in Out-Patient Urgent-Care Settings Público

Abstract

The study identified and measured strength of clinical factors (e.g., patient demographics, time of day, process delays) and patients' characterizations in predicting patients' satisfaction with care received during encounters in an urgent-care center (UCC) setting. Satisfaction was measured by means of a Net Promoter Score® (NPS) survey, and accompanying verbatim comments. Qualitative features of care--professionalism, cleanliness, organization--were important predictors. Less important, but also statistically significant we encounter duration, patient co-payment, and age.
