Aims: To evaluate patients’ level of satisfaction on the quality of healthcare received by focusing on waiting time due to its level of importance. Studies have shown that a good healthcare system contributes immensely to the growth of a thriving economy, because patients’ satisfaction is the major indicator of quality healthcare. Study Design: A descriptive cross-sectional study was employed by using a structured questionnaire coupled with interview session. These was considered appropriate for data gathering in the overall outpatient department (OPD) of the health facility. Methods: The present study evaluates patients’ satisfaction level on the QoS in Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH), Nigeria; by focusing majorly on waiting time. Systematic random sampling technique was used in selecting the participants for this research, with 241 patients’ data collected. Convenience, courtesy and quality of care were used as factors to measure patients’ satisfactions. Results: Findings from this study showed that 73.03% of the patients were satisfied with the level of services in terms of conveniences, while 80.50% of the patients were highly satisfied as regards the courtesy level, also, 77.59% of the patients were satisfied with the quality of care received at the facility. Furthermore, our result indicates that a total of 154 (63.9%) of the patients were greatly satisfied with the quality of health services received in EKSUTH, however, 87 which represents 36.1% of patients were not satisfied with the level of services rendered at the facility. Conclusion: The respondents showed high satisfaction level in most of the services they received from EKSUTH, however, long waiting time in the health facility has shown to be an impediment to the satisfaction level as well as the quality of care (QoC) received. Therefore, improved services; especially reducing the long waiting time will motivate patients to continue to utilize EKSUTH. More so, continuous efforts should be made by the hospital’s administration to improve other areas where satisfaction level was shown to be low in the present study.

This chapter looks at the topic of health services quality from a commissioning and whole population perspective. Quality is noted to be a multidimensional concept and dimensions of quality are considered. The role of the commissioner in maintaining and improving quality of services is explored, and this is seen within a wider backdrop of a health system with commissioner and provider functions (if there are such distinctions in the system). Commissioners need to know whether they are securing quality care for their population for the money spent. They also need an understanding of how this dovetails with the provider perspective on this topic. Commissioners also need to be able to articulate what they wish to assess in practice under the guise of quality. Finally, at a system level there are also bearings on how to compile and interpret a picture of a population’s health if needed.

Abstract Background and Aims Quality of life of hemodialysis patients and adequacy of hemodialysis therapy in general, is defined by the number and duration of incidents during hemodialysis procedures. In this study we examined the effect of telemedical system for control and monitoring of hemodialysis procedures on patients’ condition and their quality of life. Method The system described in this work included: doctor/patient video call functionality initiated from both ends; functionality of hemodialysis procedure parameters and patient’s condition parameters monitoring and registration; functionality of alerting medical staff about registered incidents, functionality of visual control of hemodialysis procedure. The effect of control and monitoring system usage was studied on population of 2300 hemodialysis patients (at the start of the study) with median follow-up of 2 years. The primary end-point was doctor’s reaction time on patient’s complaint, medical staff reaction time on intradialysis hypertension incidents. Secondary end-points were: number of patients who left the clinic due to reasons besides lethality, patients’ satisfaction by hemodialysis therapy (according to survey), number of incidents of intradialysis and interdialysis hypertension. Results During the study we observed that as a result of system deployment average doctor’s reaction time on patient’s complaint (defined as the time from emergence of the complaint to start of patient/doctor communication) reduced from 8 to 1.5 minutes, average staff reaction time on intradialysis hypertension incidents (defined as time from registration of hypertension incident to start of blood pressure normalization actions) reduced from 5 to 2 minutes. Number of patients who left the clinic due to reasons besides lethality reduced from 2.5 per 100 patients before system deployment to 1.7 per 100 patients at the end of the study. Average value of patient’s satisfaction by dialysis therapy increased from 7.2 to 9.1 points on 10-point scale (according to survey conducted at the beginning and at the end of the study). By the end of the study, average number (across population) of hypertension incidents per month reduced from 8.3 to 6.2 and from 20.7 to 16.5 episodes for intradialysis and interdialysis hypertension correspondingly. Conclusion The use of telemedical tools of hemodialysis procedures control and monitoring has positive impact on patients’ satisfaction level by the dialysis procedure and on duration/frequency of incidents registered by these tools, which, in return may improve the quality of patient’s life.
