In job satisfaction surveys, therapists consistently rank near the top – right behind clergy. Why is that? What makes therapists happy with their jobs?
Most report that it’s all about their satisfaction in making a difference for their patients and being a part of a team of co-workers who share that same value. It’s only natural then, that the most satisfied therapists are also the most patient centered. They went into this profession because they wanted to help people, and they’re most satisfied when the patient is their focus.
Above all, we know that our team members’ interactions with patients reflect on us and on our clients. In consumer-driven healthcare, you can’t afford to have a therapy team that isn’t revolving around the patient’s needs. We take this commitment seriously because it delivers the best solution for everyone involved – our team member therapist, our client healthcare organization and the patient.
Relationships
Our therapists believe in building relationships with patients to empower them to take an active role in their therapy planning to achieve their goals. At Rehab Resources, we work on soft skills with our team to give them the tools they need to be successful.
Communication
Clear, courteous and professional communication with a patient is critical to a positive interaction – whether it’s one therapy session or several over a sustained timeframe. Our therapists know that communication begins with listening. They also collaborate with patients to provide clear instruction and improve results.
Empathy
When patients perceive empathy from a caregiver or healthcare professional, they rate the interaction with greater expertise, trust, satisfaction and compliance. Rehab Resources looks for outstanding team members who exhibit character, compassion and patience.
The Bottom Line
Patient-centered care matters because it:
• Improves patient clinical outcomes
• Improves patient satisfaction rates
• Reduces overall costs
As a result, the therapy team that Rehab Resources provides to you is patient centered. We develop our people with the knowledge they need to apply the latest research in their therapy plans, and we treat the soft skills as an integrated part of our recruitment, hiring and development process.
