Choosing a hospital or nursing facility is a very sensitive issue. For this reason, many people prefer a facility that offers the best treatment rather than one close to home. This high demand for quality puts pressure on healthcare operators. To remain competitive and profitable, healthcare providers must differentiate themselves through excellent service quality and customer orientation. In this context, satisfaction surveys are becoming increasingly important.
Spectos Offers Tailor-Made Solutions for Individual Requirements
As a full-service provider, Spectos supports such surveys. Depending on the circumstances of the healthcare provider, the surveys are carried out in a wide variety of formats: selective or continuous, traditional or digital. They usually pursue several goals. On the one hand, they are a tool for measuring patient satisfaction and for quality control. On the other hand, in times of shortage of skilled workers, they serve as a daily performance mirror for employee motivation. Customers such as the AMEOS Group have been relying on Spectos solutions since 2018. And the care service provider EMVIA LIVING has also been conducting satisfaction surveys regularly at half-yearly intervals since 2021.
Satisfaction surveys can help uncover hidden weaknesses
A new client is the Bürgerhospital Frankfurt am Main. In this German hospital, paper satisfaction surveys have been replaced by digital surveys via smartphones, tablets, etc. Patients can now easily rate their stay whenever they want. All feedback is available to the hospital operators in real-time in a central platform, the Spectos Real-Time Performance Management™ Suite. Targeted reports and analyses on everyday factors such as care, treatment quality or the friendliness of the nursing staff enable quality managers to identify the potential for improvement in everyday hospital life. Furthermore, the effectiveness of measures can be continuously tracked.
At EMVIA LIVING, our focus is on creating a comfortable and personalized environment for our residents. With our satisfaction surveys, we aim to show our appreciation and recognition for both our residents and our dedicated staff. Spectos plays a valuable role in helping us achieve our goals and continuously improve the well-being of our community. Together, we strive to make every day at our facilities a joyful and fulfilling experience for all.

However, paper questionnaires are still essential in some fields. For example, seniors in EMVIA LIVING‘s care facilities feel most comfortable with those traditional questionnaires. To ensure that the results are quickly available in digital reports, Spectos supports the digitization of the completed questionnaires. As well as providing transparent insight into the quality of the facilities, the results are presented in brochures to the departments for self-promotion and staff appreciation.
