Abstract:

This paper aims to evaluate the general state of the medical services provided by the Craiova County Emergency Clinical Hospital (SCJU Craiova) and to compare the perceived quality of the services between 2016-2019 and 2022-2023. The method chosen to carry out the research was through the collection and analysis of data from the hospital’s questionnaire for quality assessment, voluntarily filled in by patients. We analyzed the trends and the variability of the satisfaction reports for each period, separately, and then between the 2016-2019 and 2022-2023 periods. As a comparison, we observed that the rating of the healthcare services and staff behavior is more polarized in the post-pandemic period as it was before, while the assessment of the hotel conditions shows that, even if the objective conditions have improved, the patients tend to be more critical
