Three Steps for Service Recovery

It can be difficult when a patient has a complaint. Below is an NYP service expectation guideline of how to handle this type of situation.

1. Acknowledge - Listen to all patients with empathy and thank them for bringing their concerns to me.

2. Apologize - Apologize on behalf of the hospital and take ownership of their concerns.

3. Amend - Act to resolve their concerns and keep the person updated on progress until the issue is resolved.
