The refund programme was not focussed on the full experience, but rather the specific interaction that troubled the patient. It did not include `differences of opinion` for medical care, so doctors were not worried that their expertise would be questioned. An entire department was dedicated to listening to concerns and assess legitimacy and whenever a person requested a refund, a hospital study was done by patient advocates. In 2015/2016 over $400,000 in refunds were made to patients whose experiences and expectations were not met with kindness and compassion. |
