Executive Order 12862, Setting Customer Service Standards, calls for the establishment and implementation of customer service standards, and for agencies to "survey customers to determine the kind and quality of services they want and their level of satisfaction with current services". The Michael E. DeBakey Home Care Program Patient Satisfaction tool will allow for patient objective and anonymous feedback. The Patient Satisfaction survey data is collected by telephone because the patients who are on the home care program are the elderly/frail and Spinal Cord Injury. The intent of this survey is to provide feedback to providers and staff regarding patient satisfaction with services provided by or through the DeBakey home care program staff.
