Patient Satisfaction

Doctor Communication

What is this?

"Patients reported how often their doctors communicated well with them during their hospital stay on a scale of never, sometimes, usually, or always. 'Communicated well' means doctors explained things clearly, listened carefully to the patient, and treated the patient with courtesy and respect. The percentages below represent the percent of patients who reported that their doctors 'always' communicated well.

Why this matters?

Patients and their families are an important part of the care team and doctors need to be communicating well with them to ensure they can take an active role in their care, while they are in the hospital and once they return home.
