Providers named Top 10% for patient experience

By Internal Medicine at Iowa

Internal Medicine placed 60 clinicians on the list of Patient’s Choice Award recipients for their excellence in patient care in Fiscal Year 2023 (July 1, 2022 – June 30, 2023). Each of our divisions is represented.

Recognition was based upon patient responses to five questions within the “Care Provider” section of patient surveys:

  • Concern showed for patient questions or worries
  • Explanations given to patient about problem or condition
  • Efforts to include patient in decisions about their care
  • Discussion of any proposed treatment (options, risks, benefits, etc.)
  • Likelihood of patient recommending care provider to others

These physicians and advanced practice providers will be invited to one of two in-person celebrations next week where they will be formally recognized as among the Top 10% in the nation.

Congratulations to these Internal Medicine clinicians!
