Communication of hospital discharge instructions between patient and provider is an important component of hospital discharge to ensure that patients have the information they need to manage their post-acute care. Patient perception of this interaction is a key indicator of the quality of services provided. This study examined whether there is a correlation between hospital continuity and transition scores (a measure of patient perceptions of hospital discharge instructions) and hospital readmissions in Ontario. The final regression model for the outcome of all medical readmissions within three days of hospital discharge, showed a significant positive relationship (coefficient=0.0090, p=0.011). The estimate was smaller and not significant once the data was restricted to only community hospitals located outside of Toronto (coefficient=0.0085, p=0.060), and when restricted to urban community hospitals outside of Toronto (coefficient=0.0041, p=0.384). For the outcome of specific medical readmissions within 28 days of hospital discharge, no statistically significant relationship was found.

Thesis (MPhil (Information Science))--Stellenbosch University, 2008. / The general purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of the relationship between organisational mergers and/or acquisitions and job satisfaction. Specifically, the concept of job satisfaction was examined in relation to ex-Smartcom employees who were moved to Vodacom after the acquisition of Smartcom. Variables such as age, marital status, educational level, gender and job security were examined for a possible significant relationship to employee job satisfaction. Management involvement and intervention during the acquisition were also examined to establish whether or not this also affects employee job satisfaction. It was hypothesised that employees were dissatisfied as a result of the acquisition. The researcher used a combination of both quantitative and qualitative methods of collecting data. Through questionnaires, interviews and observation, the researcher achieved what is called ‘triangulation’ in order to get a better understanding of the results. The data was gathered and analysed effectively by using different methods of collecting and measuring data. This was done to ensure that the study’s trustworthiness, validation and reliability. The results are discussed in terms of the hypothesis set in the study. This is done through a discussion of the conclusion drawn from the findings. Even though employees are dissatisfied as a result of mergers and acquisitions, it was found that there are other factors such as work environment, pay, recognition, responsibility, team work, and security that can also lead to employee dissatisfaction. It was therefore concluded that when an acquisition is made, management should not only focus on the bottom-line, but also pay attention to the human factors that can lead to the failure or success of the acquisition. Integration and intervention programmes can be used as mechanisms for successful operations post mergers and acquisitions.

Study methodology used was the study of a simple case, applied according to Yin (2005). In this work, one attempts to analyse, in a critical way, whether customer satisfaction survey is considered to be relevant by decision makers, in what manner this is worked out in the Telefonica corporate segment, and whether the outcome provides timely data to executives for a better decision making and strategic planning. To understand the study, SIM structure and function were analysed, taking as reference Kotler s (2000) theoretical model, and how this model favors intelligently and systematically a better collection, organization, consolidation, analysis, interpretation and distribution of customer satisfaction survey data to decision makers. Concept, role and contributions of customer satisfaction survey were also analysed as an instrument to gather significant information from customers and feed SIM, and how this data is used to provide auxiliary elements to decision makers in their actions. For the study analysis, interviews were carried out with executives, as well as analysis of documentation and reports. Results obtained indicate that, although customer satisfaction survey is worked within a structured, systematic and continuous process, supplying decision makers, this measuring tool is used to provide support to reactive and punctual acts, aimed at reverting customers negative perception vis-à-vis dissatisfaction attributes. It was noted that decision makers use customer satisfaction survey to direct their performance focus more efficiently and better to formulate actions so they generate an immediate response to the company and to dissatisfied customers. It is not possible to ascertain that this kind of survey is integrated in and provides elements to the marketing intelligence process for the performance of a better analysis and interpretation of relevant information about clients, which together with data generated by SIM components supply professionals involved with evidence for a more assertive decision making / O objetivo da presente dissertação é a análise da pesquisa de satisfação de clientes como instrumento de medição e não apenas como um banco de dados fundamental para medir a eficácia das ações realizadas pela empresa, que ao alimentar e integrar o SIM fornece subsídios relevantes para a melhor tomada de decisão. A metodologia de estudo utilizada foi um estudo de caso simples, aplicado de acordo com Yin (2005). Neste trabalho buscou-se analisar de forma crítica se a pesquisa de satisfação de clientes é considerada relevante pelos tomadores de decisão, de que forma esta é trabalhada no segmento corporativo da Telefônica, e se os seus resultados fornecem informações oportunas aos executivos para a melhor tomada de decisão e melhor planejamento estratégico. Para a compreensão do estudo de caso analisou-se a estrutura e função do SIM, tendo como referência o modelo teórico de Kotler (2000), e como este modelo favorece a melhor coleta, organização, consolidação, análise, interpretação e distribuição, de forma inteligente e sistemática, das informações da pesquisa de satisfação de clientes aos tomadores de decisão. Examinou-se também o conceito, papel e contribuições da pesquisa de satisfação de clientes como instrumento que coleta informações relevantes de clientes e alimenta o SIM, e como esta é utilizada para prover subsídios aos tomadores de decisão para realização de ações. Para a análise do estudo de caso foram realizadas entrevistas com executivos, bem como análise de documentações e relatos. Os resultados obtidos indicam que, apesar da pesquisa de satisfação de clientes ser trabalhada em um processo estruturado, sistemático e contínuo alimentando os tomadores de decisão, este instrumento de medição é utilizado para subsidiar ações reativas e pontuais, direcionadas a reverterem a percepção negativa dos clientes em relação aos atributos de insatisfação. Observou-se que os tomadores de decisão utilizam a pesquisa de satisfação de clientes para direcionar o seu foco de atuação de maneira mais eficaz e melhor formular ações que gerem retorno imediato à empresa e aos clientes insatisfeitos. Não é possível constatar que este tipo de pesquisa está integrada e alimenta o processo de inteligência de marketing para a realização de melhor análise e interpretação das informações relevantes sobre os clientes, que juntamente com os dados gerados pelos componentes do SIM fornecem aos profissionais subsídios para tomada de decisão mais assertiva
