Abstract

Customer satisfaction is a universal concern that impacts enterprises of all sizes, whether they are for-profit or non-profit, and whether they operate on a global or local scale. Therefore, it is crucial for every firm, including hospitals, to have a comprehension of the aspects that impact customer satisfaction. A study proposed that the correlation between the use of resources and patient satisfaction may be due to the perception that patients have. They believe that doctors who allow them to stay in the hospital for a longer period or conduct additional tests demonstrate a greater concern for their well-being. Consequently, these patients feel more confident that their concerns are being acknowledged and dealt with by their physicians. A comprehensive analysis of primary care patients revealed numerous studies that established a direct correlation between meeting patient expectations and their overall satisfaction with the care received. However, it was also observed that physicians often misinterpret patients' desire for information as an expectation for a specific course of action
