The Center changes OB practices to improve patient satisfaction

August 31, 2020

Expecting mothers will soon receive even higher quality service when they visit The Center for Children and Women.

In response to patient feedback, the obstetrics services at both the Greenspoint and Southwest locations will treat patients with a new personal care team model. This will prevent families from seeing up to 10 different providers and instead offer them their own team of no more than four providers.

“We are excited about this change, especially because it has been made in direct response to one of our most common patient complaints,” said Dr. Faunda Armstrong, assistant medical director for The Center at Greenspoint. “The smaller team model will allow providers to develop a patient plan together, build a closer relationship with families and increase trust at every appointment.”

To ensure that this change – set for mid-September – achieves the intended results, The Center will continue to use the patient satisfaction firm, Press Ganey. The firm’s annual survey results will show the effects of the change.

Additional recent changes include an increased use of telemedicine appointments to keep patients and families safe amid COVID-19 concerns. For more information about The Center for Children and Women visit https://www.jointhecenter.org/.
