title: Client satisfaction in support of service planning within a regulatory framework: experience of a research hospital.
abstract: Research Operations at UHN provide services to a large, complex client research community with varying needs. This requires complex coordination and continual refining of service and resource targets to meet client, government and external stakeholder requirements. The UHN Research Operations model focuses on six key enablers: client education, service team expertise, direct communication, process improvement, quality assurance, and, systems and tools. Service departments that have deployed these enablers experience improved client satisfaction.
