What doctors need to learn about service

Medicine is the ultimate service industry, but doctors often don't do a good job of providing this. I feel they can learn a lot from other businesses, and I found the book,
Delivering Knock Your Socks Off Service, very useful.

The authors define " Knock your socks off service " as:

Reliable - delivering on promises
Responsive - providing service in a timely fashion
Reassuring - building trust through competence and confidence
Empathetic - recognizing customers ( patients) emotional state and responding accordingly
Tangibles - taking pride in the quality of the materials ( services) that you produce

Most doctors love memorising lists - and this is a valuable list they can learn from !

  1. Hi: Just came across your blog. Intersting post and good looking site. I'm definitely going to visit again! I recently set up a new website just about **San Diego plastic surgery** There are a lot of interesting plastic surgery/cosmetic articles. So, if you have an interest in San Diego cosmetic surgery please stop by and let us know how we can improve the site.

    Thanks
