Patient Communication Surveys

Effective communication between patient and physician has always been at the heart of providing optimal patient care and improved treatment. That’s why the Academy has partnered with DSS Research to bring a Patient Communication Survey Program to its members. Best of all, this survey is approved by the American Board of Dermatology (ABD) to help fulfill part of the Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Component 4 requirement.

Make a difference for you and your practice:

• Use your patients’ valuable feedback on their experience to enhance every aspect of your practice.
• Gain insight on new and different ways to maintain optimal patient care.
• Be at the forefront of setting higher levels of professionalism and standards for your practice that can have a positive effect on patients and peers alike.

DSS administers and processes the patient communication surveys, taking the burden off you and your office staff. The survey will take less than 10 minutes for patients to complete, and can be done online or by filling out the paper survey mailed to them.

• An easy, hassle-free process from start to finish.
• A robust Web portal with helpful online tools, FAQs and marketing materials for your practice.
• Commitment to security of information.
• Clear, accurate survey findings in an easily downloadable form.

Peer Communication Surveys: ABD approved

Feedback from your peers is an effective tool to ensure continuous quality improvement in a dermatology practice. Peer surveys allow you to:  

• Obtain input from colleagues regarding best practices and clinical management skills.
• Develop an action plan to enhance collaboration of care between physicians.
