This is the first comprehensive patient satisfaction survey of 471 Jordanian Ministry of Health hospital adult inpatients. It covers patients' opinions on topics such as physician gender, patient safety, quality of meals, management of pain, level of privacy, the hospital admission process, condition of hospital facilities, and level of communication with physicians and nurses. PHRplus found that patients were generally satisfied with the admissions process, safety and privacy issues, and the cleanliness of their rooms, and they were impressed by the technical knowledge of physicians and nurses. Results of the patient satisfaction survey have broad implications for improving care in both the public and private health sectors.
