Patient Complaint/Grievance Resolution

Patient Satisfaction is a top priority at Sparks Health System. In order to continually improve patient satisfaction, Sparks Health System has established a patient grievance process that helps to identify and address patient concerns, complaints and grievances in a timely manner. We strive to resolve any issue in a consistent, effective and timely manner at the point of care and immediately in any situation that places the patient in immediate danger. The majority of issues that are identified are address immediately with others addressed with the patient’s caregivers or others in direct authority.

Sparks Health Systems views patient concerns, complaints and grievances as opportunities to improve services provided to our patients. Sparks patients or patient’s designated representatives are informed of the process for internal and, when required, external reporting of concerns, complaints and grievances and actions to be taken. This process also enables Sparks Health Systems to track and trend the effectiveness and management of all reports.
