The book describes how to conduct a survey in a Medical Laboratory setting in order to identify key drivers of physician satisfaction and their relationships to physician loyalty to the Medical Laboratory provider. It starts with an overview of the differences between Quality and Marketing and shows that satisfaction research is within the domain on marketing, but has been used without much consulting from marketing in improvement methodologies such as Lean & Six Sigma. The book is of interest to Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belts, advanced Lean Six Sigma Black Belts and academics alike. It contains a full discussion of the newest methodologies used to analyze surveys and compares and contrasts Regression analysis, Path analysis and Structural Equation Modeling. It then leads the reader through the application of a large-scale survey conducted via a longitudinal study using Structural Equation Modeling methodology. The last chapter describes the research and practical implication of the research.

The book contains a history of satisfaction and loyalty research starting with Cardozo's seminal article in Marketing (1965). It develops a model that predicts the propensity of physicians to continue working with a commercial lab provider and follows up using a behavioral approach to identify why physicians stay loyal or change provider. It is different from other studies in this area in that it not only asks if physicians remain loyal on a scale, but determines if loyalty or switching behavior actually occurred. In addition, it identifies the key drivers of satisfaction and loyalty that commercial medical laboratory providers need to be aware of if their efforts at increasing satisfaction and behavioral loyalty yields the desired results. The book is the first research in the area of key drivers of satisfaction and loyalty in the medical laboratory industry and of interest to medical lab administrators, scholars and experts in the field.

There is a significant deficiency among contemporary medicine practices reflected by experts making medical decisions for a large proportion of the population for which no or minimal data exists. Fortunately, our capacity to procure and apply such information is rapidly rising. As medicine becomes more individualized, the implementation of health IT and data interoperability become essential components to delivering quality healthcare. Quality Assurance in the Era of Individualized Medicine is a collection of innovative research on the methods and utilization of digital readouts to fashion an individualized therapy instead of a mass-population-directed strategy. While highlighting topics including assistive technologies, patient management, and clinical practices, this book is ideally designed for health professionals, doctors, nurses, hospital management, medical administrators, IT specialists, data scientists, researchers, academicians, and students.
