All received feedback from customer is valuable and allows our customers to make a difference. We utilize the feedback to develop our services, customer service and management, among other things.  Based on received feedback, we have, for example, developed our care practices and services, improved the data security and privacy of our patients, and provided training to our staff. We have also utilized feedback in our projects to develop our operations. We have received a lot of praise especially for the friendly service, good care, and high-quality patient meals we provide. The received praise encourages us to provide even better care and to maintain the quality of our operations. ## Customer satisfaction survey and Net Promoter Score (NPS) A sample of our patients will receive an SMS with a customer satisfaction survey. The SMS will be sent from the number 18588. The SMS contains no links, but you are asked to reply by text message. The survey consists of 2 or 3 questions and replying is free of charge. You have the right to refuse receiving SMS surveys. If you do not wish to receive the survey, please contact HUS units directly.

Thank you all, I can wholeheartedly thank you and praise every one of you!”* > *“The service was really commendable and even though I was nervous about my procedure, the staff provided me encouragement. My warmest thank you for everything!”* ## We have developed our operations based on customer feedback Examples of actions we have taken: ### We have introduced a callback system --- Some of our outpatient services have introduced a callback system in which we promise to contact the patient within the same working day. With the callback system, we have been able to decrease the number of so-called lost calls, where no phone contact with a person is made, to zero. Our average callback time is 0.30–4 hours. ### We have streamlined the discharge process of our patients --- Our aim has been to try to streamline the discharging of our patients by starting the planning for the discharge earlier. We have updated our discharge and nutrition guidelines and paid more attention to our staff’s orientation training. Discussion and interaction with patients is especially important to us. ### We have reminded our staff to wear the ID cards --- We have reminded our staff about using the official ID cards, as in customer service situations it is important that the patient knows which professional group representative they are dealing with. ### We take bilingualism into account in all our services --- In shift planning, we strive to guarantee bilingualism in every shift, so that our staff is able to serve patients in both Finnish and Swedish. ### We have developed our appointment booking system --- We have increased the number of available appointments for sampling points at several of our units and made the appointment system even easier to use than before. ### We have extended our opening hours and have been able to shorten the waiting times for our customers --- We have extended our opening hours and increased the number of appointments available on Saturdays in our busiest units. In addition, we have been able to reduce the waiting times for our patients by improving the processes and the use of resources, among other things. ### We have simplified patient instructions and our website --- In cooperation with our customer panel, we have simplified our website and the instructions that patients receive for preparing for appointments and for booking appointments. ### We have added our units on the Service Map --- Our units have been added on the Service Map and, at the same time, the information on accessibility has been made more visible. ### We have compiled an assessment form for customer appointments --- We have compiled an assessment form for customer appointments that our customer panel has been using. On the form, the customer can record their experience with regard to their arrival, signs and instructions, reception, and the examination itself. > *“The food on the ward was tasty and the night nurses were empathetic and competent.”* > *“Thank you for your expert and friendly care and service.
