Usually organizations look at financial performance, customer/patient knowledge, internal business growth, learning and growth. The next step would be analyzing the project either using techniques such as SWOT so that all possibilities are explored and making sure there is an understanding of the facility needs. Then begin planning out the project time line and finally putting the plan into action and implementing the changes and or begin remodeling.

7. How will you design your facility to improve the patient experience?

8. Press Ganey is one of many companies that assist with patient satisfaction surveys. The big database for most surveys is the federal government--These companies work on a monthly basis to provide detailed feedback because:
