Patient anxiety has been shown to lead to substantial decreases in patient satisfaction of care. Studies have also shown that effective communication between providers and patients can alleviate patient anxiety during treatment and increase their overall satisfaction in their care.

This is the topic of our latest white paper. We have gathered studies and other industry resources to demonstrate the negative impact that patient anxiety has on HCAHPS scores. We also show how, when designed and used effectively, hospital whiteboards can be used to effectively communicate with patients, relieving anxiety and making them happier with the care they receive.
