Module 10: Patient Feedback & Complaints Resolution

Module 10 - Patient Feedback and Complaints Resolution - professionally and successfully managing feedback to the satisfaction of your patient and your practice!  Master managing feedback to satisfy your patients and practice. Turn scary and frustrating situations into opportunities for improvement and appreciation.

"How do I deal with angry patients?" and "Why are people so demanding these days?" are common questions from front desk staff and managers. Module 10 helps you understand that patient dissatisfaction often stems from what we are or aren't doing.

The real questions to ask are:

  • "What are we doing that patients find unsatisfactory?"
  • "Are we providing the information and services patients need?"
  • "Am I understanding this patient and responding in a way they appreciate?"

In Module 10, you will learn to change your mindset around complaints and negative feedback, and how to respond effectively. Discover the basic patient expectations that create satisfaction and the impact of poor service on your practice.

Improve your communication skills to manage upset patients, focusing on positive verbal skills, active listening, relationship building, trust, competency, and empathy. Develop a complaints resolution protocol for prompt and mutually satisfactory resolutions, reducing errors and ensuring patients feel comfortable returning to your care.

Learn to manage online complaints and negative reviews professionally, enhancing your practice's reputation. Lastly, master eliciting and responding to positive feedback to grow your 5-star review rating.

Module 10 includes verbal skills, complaints protocols, patient exit protocol and interview, online responses to reviews, and processes to turn complaints into positive changes in your practice.
