title: Measuring mammography patient satisfaction.
abstract: This study identified how the mammography industry addresses patient needs and satisfaction through consumer satisfaction mechanisms. Survey results from 500 randomly selected mammography facilities show that more than 50% of the facilities make an effort to address patient satisfaction. Results highlight the need for institutions to critically review reliability and validity criteria of satisfaction instruments, thus enabling valuable organizational change.
