Findly, the on-demand talent market leader and a Symphony Technology Group (STG) company, announced today the release of the Findly Healthcare Service Profile(R), an innovative assessment tool designed to help hospitals accurately identify job candidates and employees who are more likely to provide a higher level of service to patients.

The ability for healthcare providers to determine the competencies of their front-line workers, including clinical, administrative and facilities support, is a significant competitive advantage. This is increasingly important due to growing participation in the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey, whereby hospitals receive scores based on consumer feedback of their patient experience. The use of comprehensive assessments that can measure a person’s desire and ability to deliver excellent patient service is key for hospitals to improve their HCAHPS score and, ultimately, enhance the care that they provide to patients.

Findly’s new Healthcare Service Profile was developed to measure a range of competencies across clinical and support roles in the healthcare industry. Developed in collaboration with major healthcare systems to identify the personal characteristics that drive desirable patient care behaviors, the Healthcare Service Profile measures job candidates on five unique assessment scales: Demonstrates Respect, Interpersonal Communication, Patient Centricity, Quality Orientation, and Service Orientation.

By selecting new employees and developing existing employees who demonstrate strength in these patient service competencies, hospitals can systematically improve the behaviors that affect their patients’ opinions of care. At the same time, the ease of the assessment tool can greatly improve the candidate experience and the hospital’s ability to attract additional qualified candidates.

“Now that the HCAHPS survey gives patients clear insight into healthcare provider service perceptions, it is more crucial than ever that hospitals leverage new tools to hire professionals who can deliver the utmost levels of patient service and care,” said Jeff Russakow, CEO of Findly. “Our Healthcare Service Profile gives healthcare providers a proven, validated method for identifying candidates and current employees who show substantial strength in the areas indicative of a strong focus on patient care. As a result, they can elevate their level of service and drive positive patient care behavior as well as be viewed as an employer of choice and premier healthcare provider.”
