What differentiates the EAQ from other patient satisfaction surveys?

The distinguishing feature of the EAQ is its focus on comfort across multiple dimensions, which encompasses physical, emotional, and environmental aspects of patient care. Unlike other patient satisfaction surveys that may prioritize clinical outcomes or narrow aspects of patient experiences, the EAQ comprehensively assesses how comfortable patients feel in various contexts. This multidimensional approach allows healthcare providers to gain insights into the overall well-being of patients rather than solely their satisfaction with clinical treatment. By understanding the different dimensions of comfort, healthcare practitioners can implement more holistic care strategies that address patient needs beyond just clinical factors.
