Student Health Services
Learning Outcome Planning Objectives
Objective 1: Students will develop a positive relationship with our medical staff and build a comfort level to which they will more honestly address their health issues.
Rationale:
- It is important that our students be forthcoming with any medical concerns so that they can be addressed and treated appropriately and in a timely manner.
Measure:
- At the end of each semester a survey will be sent to our students, via e-mail, addressing various components (i.e. accessibility, level of professionalism, knowledge of staff members, our follow up system etc.) of our services.
- Using the likert scale (5 Ð strongly agree, 4 Ð agree, 3 neutral, 2 Ð disagree, 1 Ð strongly disagree) assessment, students will be asked the following questions: 1) how easy was it to make an appointment at the Health Center; 2) were you treated respectfully and in a professional manner; 3) do you feel that your medical concern was resolved and/or improved to your satisfaction; 4) will you refer your fellow classmates to our Health Center; and 5) do you feel empowered to assume responsibility for your health care needs.
Objective 2: As a result of working closely with staff members our students will acquire the skills necessary to assume responsibility for initiating and completing the health insurance process.
Rationale:
- It is important that our students complete the insurance process in timely manner and with accuracy to avoid ending up in a ÔcollectionÕ situation that could impact their future financial stability.
Measure:
- At the end of each semester/academic year we will not receive a list of outstanding claims by either our insurance company or local providers.
- Using the likert Scale (5 Ð strongly agree, 4 Ð agree, 3 Ð neutral, 2 Ð disagree, 1 Ð strongly disagree) assessment, students will be asked the following questions: 1) did our staff clearly explain how to complete a claim form in a respectful and professional manner; 2) do you now feel that you understand the importance of answering each question accurately and to the best of your knowledge; 3) were you informed of the importance of filing a claim form as quickly as possible to resolve any outstanding bills for medical services; 4) were you instructed to not disregard requests for additional information and/or follow up requests to avoid a future collection situation; and 5) do you feel empowered to handle future insurance claim forms without assistance.
