Another important method for collecting information is through client feedback. The end-users of healthcare services is the patient. Therefore, patients can give valuable information from their personal perspective concerning the effectiveness of healthcare services (Krägeloh, Czuba, Billington, Kersten, & Siegert, 2015). For instance, if the patient has some negative views about a particular medication, the information can be used to find an alternative medication that suits the patient’s beliefs. Information from the patients and the community would give insights to decision-makers concerning the areas that need improvements. Also, information about patient satisfaction would tell the things that need to be incorporated to maintain or improve patient satisfaction.
