Client satisfaction data and quality improvement planning in managed mental health care organizations
Article Abstract:
Effective quality improvement planning in any health care system requires an accurate assessment of client satisfaction. In this study, a sample of client satisfaction data taken from a large national mental health, was utilized to demonstrate a cost-effective strategy for shifting "moderately satisfied" into "maximally satisfied" patients. The study advocates the use of Chi Square Automatic Interaction Detection to derive meaning and significance from client surveys.
