3 The Approach Which complaints are real? Who handles the complaints? What is the message? Who? What? Sympathetic and concerned. The imprimatur of leadership: I can fix this. An asset? Your choice Ignore and perpetuate They care enough to complain and allow you to fix the problem Script the interaction This comes at an opportune time 2

4 Effective listening means hearing it from their perspective What complainers want Changing Perception and Behavior Create early warning system Collect information Get the chart Define the issues, then call Listen, empathize and make a plan Control Damage Retrospectively, do what can be done after the fact Develop prevention strategy Prospectively, examine and change system / behavior Typical Complaints Dr. Zippy Molasses General Hospital Dr. (Mercedes) Benz Dr. Frankenstein Dr. Jerkyll Dr. (Ray) Charles Dr. (Terry) Bradshaw 3

Your satisfaction and patronage are important to us at Hospital and for that reason we have decided to decrease your bill to $.00. Thank you for the opportunity to discuss this matter. I hope that in the event that you require emergency services in the future, you will again give us the opportunity to serve you.
