Using an Interactive Voice Response Survey to Assess Patient Satisfaction in Ethiopia: Development and Feasibility Study

Our findings reveal that an IVR survey is a feasible, low-cost, and rapid solution to assess patient satisfaction in an urban context in Ethiopia. However, survey implementation must be carefully planned and tailored to local challenges. Governments and health facilities should consider IVR to routinely collect patient satisfaction data to inform quality improvement strategies.

Abstract

Our findings reveal that an IVR survey is a feasible, low-cost, and rapid solution to assess patient satisfaction in an urban context in Ethiopia. However, survey implementation must be carefully planned and tailored to local challenges. Governments and health facilities should consider IVR to routinely collect patient satisfaction data to inform quality improvement strategies.
