About the survey

What is the Patient Satisfaction Survey?

The Patient Satisfaction Assessment Survey is a brief questionnaire sent to all patients who have visited the University Health Center. The survey seeks information regarding your visit, including the process, what did we do well, what can be improved, what, if any, challenges were encountered, your overall satisfaction, and your likelihood to recommend the UHC to another student/person.

Our target score for questions 1 - 5 is 85% in the top two tiers 

  • Average overall patient satisfaction
  • Average likelihood to recommend

How well did the staff respect your needs regarding your:

  • Disability
  • Sexual orientation/gender identity
  • Cultural, racial, and religious needs

Who sees the results?

Responses are processed and reviewed on a monthly basis by the Student Health Advisory Committee (SHAC), the Quality Improvement and Management Team, and the Executive Committee. The SHAC reviews the survey results and presents recommendations for improvement or resolution.

What do you do with the survey results?

Survey respondents who indicate they would like to be contacted are asked about details of their experience to help us determine a suitable resolution. Providers and staff are contacted when a complaint or compliment specifies them. We benchmark responses overtime to help us identify what has improved and what needs more work.

This is what our patients say when we ask: What did we do well during your time at the University Health Center?
