Article Title: Addressing service recovery practice with radiation oncology frontline managers: A project brief
Abstract: The relationship between patient satisfaction, care compliance, and treatment outcomes suggests patients who report dissatisfaction perceive receipt of suboptimal care. Patient satisfaction plays a role in defining quality of care, affecting institutional reimbursement and reputation capital. Using an explanatory sequential mixed methodology approach, this study explored frontline management's role in effective service recovery, actively addressing instances of patient dissatisfaction to improve the overall patient experience. A survey of frontline managers, document and artifact reviews, and probing interviews identify the importance of consistent performance measurement, feedback, and frequent leadership training on the relevance and importance of service recovery.
