   "We periodically measure patient satisfaction and compare the results against standards to improve performance," notes Geert H. Blijham, M.D., professor of internal medicine, president and CEO of the University Medical Center in Utrecht, the Netherlands. "We know the major drivers for patient satisfaction are the patient encounter, scheduling, transparency of the care process and the hospital facilities."
   
   Major surveys of patient satisfaction are now under way in the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands and Switzerland. Many healthcare providers will enlist patients as vested partners, conducting focus groups and organizing community boards that infuse them with new ideas.
