What are we measuring? Evaluating physician-specific satisfaction scores between emergency departments.
The goals of this study were to determine whether Press Ganey ED satisfaction scores for emergency physicians working at two different sites were consistent between sites, and to identify factors contributing to any variation. The investigators found that Press Ganey satisfaction scores for the same group of emergency physicians varied significantly between sites. They indicated that this suggests these scores are more dependent on site-specific factors, such as wait times, than a true representation of the quality of care provided by the physician.
