The quality of health care is a very complex feature of the condition and functioning of the health care system, and one of the elements of quality is the satisfaction of the users (patients) provided with health care. In order to evaluate patient satisfaction, there are many opportunities that are provided in order to obtain information about what they think and feel about the healthcare provided. In some institutions there are books of impressions, cases for remarks and praise, nursing surveys, telephone surveys, etc. In this paper, the questionnaire examined the satisfaction of patients with the work of nurses in the Rosulje Family Medicine Clinic. The results of the study show that the patients are very satisfied with the work of the staff in APM Rosulje. Positive attitude towards the work of the clinic is contributed by the long-standing placement of nurses and doctors in the outpatient clinic, the knowledge of patients, their habits and thus better communication and recognition of the patient and family problem.

Over several decades, a wealth of expertise and experience in improving the quality of health care has accrued globally. Despite this wealth of expertise, the challenge that is often faced by country level policymakers in both high- and low-medium income countries is to know which quality policies are being implemented. The goal of this report is to highlight and critically evaluate quality metrics published in the literature for healthcare establishments. Its goal is to present an integrated quality model that combines both technical and supportive quality indicators in order to reach the highest level of patient satisfaction. As some of the priorities of doctors and nurses are to improve patient satisfaction and patient care in a healthcare system Out of all the most critical criterion for evaluating the quality of service offered to the customer by a service provider is customer satisfaction. The quality of patient care and patient satisfaction can be assessed by the quality of facilities and training, the expertise of staff and the reliability of operating processes indicating that if the personal rights and working environment of health workers are not improved, the quality of health care cannot be expected to increase.
