Customer Satisfaction: A Critical Strategic Initiative

John Muir Health is presently involved in a Critical Strategic Initiative for quality improvement.

A new Department for Quality Laboratory Systems has been established within MuirLab to maintain and improve our laboratory standards of excellence through the following:

  • Compliance and Regulations
  • Education
  • Quality Management
  • Safety

Quality systems are in place to track and review successes and opportunities for improvement. A culture of quality is instilled in every laboratory employee through the use of LEAN.

The following sections illustrate how this dedication to excellence benefits you, our valued customer, on a daily basis.

Ongoing Patient Satisfaction

An independent consumer research group is employed to solicit client feedback that is used to generate a quarterly customer satisfaction report.

Patients visiting MuirLab Patient Service Centers are randomly selected and asked to answer and/or rank the following services on a scale of 1 to 5 (5 being the best).

These results reflect the second quarter of 2007 (April-June).
