Why Post-Discharge Feedback Falls Short
1

Post-discharge surveys provide valuable historical data but don't allow for real-time corrections that could improve the patient's current stay.
2
Critical Recovery Window
Real-time service recovery is essential for positively influencing patient perceptions before they leave your facility.
3
