Abstract

Health care delivery expectations that may affect patient and caregiver satisfaction are not clearly understood. This study examined caregiver expectations and satisfaction with urgent care in a pediatric emergency department. Of 201 caregivers surveyed, we found that caregivers have specific expectations regarding clinical care of their child in terms of radiographic imaging, blood testing, antibiotics, pain management, and subspecialty consultation. Caregivers were generally less dissatisfied with the actual care provided than the urgent care physicians expected.
