Our Company and Its History
Improving Patient Satisfaction - MedicalGPS
Since 1995 the principals of MedicalGPS, LLC have been supporting physicians, administrators, and other healthcare professionals as they strive to better serve and care for their patients while improving patient satisfaction. Founded by Marty Hudson and Jerry Stone, MedicalGPS' approach is simple, yet powerful - to empower healthcare organizations to successfully embrace three guiding principles:
- Align Patient Experience with Patient Expectations
- Understand Key Touch Points of the Patient Experience that Foster Patient Loyalty
- Partner with Patients - Enlisting the Support of Advocate-Loyal Patients
When it comes to aiding physician practices, MedicalGPS starts by helping our clients understand what their patients truly think about the patient experience. Second, we enable our clients to develop targeted areas for service improvement. Next, we provide practice leadership with real-time patient feedback and teach clients how to use that feedback to meet or exceed patient expectations. Finally, we equip physician practices with resources needed to allow the patient-provider relationship to flourish so both the patient and the provider benefit.
MedicalGPS has a history of offering powerful, innovative solutions that get real results for our clients. Discover how far beyond improving patient satisfaction we go. We invite you to explore our product offerings; M3-Patient Experience®, M3-Advocate™, and CG-CAHPS®.
