Topics Discussed: Patient Satisfaction at Stroger Hospital: After one year of data keeping there has been no improvement as indicated in the latest metrics.

Dr. Das and CEO Dr. Jay Shannon stressed the importance of educating managers to understand the critical link between service quality and patient retention. Emergency Room Visits: CountyCare 2015 data reveal only a minimal decline in Emergency Room visits from the same period in 2014.
