Patient survey
used in care plan
Staff members of Cherokee
Medical Center are using Patient
Surveys to improve hospital care.
Each patient is sent a survey soon
after discharge. As surveys are
returned to the hospital, they are
utilized to improve areas that
patients think important.
This program began at Cherokee
Medical Center about nine months
ago. Approximately 15 to 20 percent
of the surveys are being returned.
Donna Gunter, public relations of-
ficer says "what hospital personnel
preceive as needing improvement
may not be what the community
thinks important. This way we not
only know what we do right, but
what the patients are visitors would
like to see done better."
"We would like to encourage our
patients to answer the surveys
honestly and to include comments.
The more we know the more we can
do to improve."
weekend, a banquet will be held at
the Rusk Junior High School on
Saturday evening. The meal will
begin at 7:30 p.m. A dance with a
Hawaiian Luau theme will follow

The weekend of activities will end

fellowship beginning at 10:45 a.m.
