Study: Physician-administration relations need improvement
Quality Improvement Monitor, July 25, 2008
Physicians and administrators in hospitals continue to suffer from a disconnect, according to a new Press Ganey report. Physicians say they need administrators to be more responsive to ideas and needs of the medical staff.
The report, the 2008 Hospital Check-Up Report: Physician Perspectives on American Hospitals surveyed 27,671 physicians from more than 300 hospitals and found that surgeons and critical care specialists are the least satisfied medical staff members in hospitals, while pathologists and rehabilitation specialist are the most satisfied.
Physicians also reported low satisfaction with access to patient information and staff reports on patient conditions.
