Effective Communication: Engaging in clear and empathetic communication with patients and their families is essential. This includes active listening, explaining procedures and treatments, and addressing patient concerns promptly. Patient Education: Providing thorough discharge instructions and medication education can enhance patient understanding and adherence to treatment plans. Responsiveness: Timely responses to call lights and patient needs can significantly improve patient satisfaction scores. Environment: Maintaining a clean and quiet hospital environment contributes to better patient experiences.
