I also work in medicine, and we recently had a (mandatory) meeting in which we were scolded b/c our patient satisfactions scores were lower the previous month. I was feeling bitchy, so asked how many people responded (I think less than 10%...also a mail-out survey). No one conducting the meeting could understand why these scores were meaningless, since the responding sample size is too low, and why variations of 1-2% per month are not statistically signifcant. They just told us to do better.

What am I thinking, I believe is the long and short of this comment, going into a profession where the PTB conduct themselves much like the restaurant managers that I've had to put up with while working my way through school?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833607.post-1141697758686377742006-03-06T18:15:00.000-08:002006-03-06T18:15:00.000-08:00Yeah, our $$ back from the HMOs is dependent on th...Yeah, our $$ back from the HMOs is dependent on these ^%$&^%$ surveys. I once got seriously flamed because I didn't speak Russian. She'd been promised a doc who spoke Russian & no one in my office did & she was irate. The last doc who spoke Russian left the group a decade ago. There is a Russian doc, in my specialty, one floor below, perhaps she got lost? But, no, despite my obviously Anglo name, I, and my entire office staff got flamed. And this impacted salaries.
