The UAB Office of Patient Experience and Engagement, in conjunction with UAB Medicine executive leadership, has awarded eleven Sports and Exercise Medicine providers as Patient Experience Leaders for delivering outstanding patient care in the 2023 fiscal year.
This honor recognizes UAB providers who score an average of 95% or higher in patient care satisfaction rankings and who achieve top scores on the following metrics:
- Listened carefully
- Demonstrated care and concern
- Provided clear explanations
- Included patients in health care decisions
- Overall care rating (0-10)
“These patient experience scores are a testament to the quality of care that our Sports and Exercise Medicine providers offer to our patients, as well as the appreciation that patients have for the care that they receive, says Director of the Primary Care Service Line and Chair of the Department of Family and Community Medicine, Irfan Asif, M.D. “Based on this, there is no doubt that the UAB SEM team provides some of the best care in the country.”
