Referring Physician Satisfaction
Why we measure it - An important indicator of how we are doing is what referring physicians think of the care we provide their patients, the timeliness of our communication with them and the availability of our staff to answer their questions.
What this means - Overall, responses are favorable. Some areas that need improvement include more appointment availability and more timely communication.
About the data - In 2008, Morehead Associates conducted a survey of physicians who regularly refer to Children's Hospital of Wisconsin and provided this analysis of the feedback.
