Service Encounter
In this paper, I will be giving a report on my best service experience and any recommendations that could have made my encounter better from one of ten service encounters that I conducted throughout the semester. I will also be including my worst service encounter experience from one of those ten service encounter forms mentioned a moment ago as well as any recommendations that could have made the encounter one of my best.
On May 7, 2004 I had to take my son, Darian, to see an allergy and asthma specialist in Lexington, Kentucky. A few days prior to the appointment someone from the office contacted me and went over a few things about his upcoming appointment. The lady I spoke to on the phone was very nice and answered my questions adequately. When we arrived at Allergy & Asthma Physicians of Central Kentucky, everyone in the front office spoke and smiled.
The office is set up so that it is extremely organized. They have two windows, one for patients who need to register for their appointment and one for patients who need to register for their allergy injections. By having the two windows it allows for speedy service. I handed the receptionist all the paperwork, which they had mailed to me a few weeks prior to the appointment, and she said that he would be called back in just a few minutes. Well, when anyone hears that at a doctor's office they can expect to be sitting in the waiting hour for a while. Well, that is not the case at this office. When they say it will be a few minutes they mean it.
Darian was called back to a room within five to ten minutes. The nurse that took him back to the room was very nice and she was communicating with him to ease his mind a little bit. When we walked into this room it was equipped with toys, a television/VCR combo and plenty of movies for him to watch. That was very impressive to me since we were going to be there for a few hours while he underwent asthma and allergy testing. So in witnessing the friendly

    Surgical Time Out Report

    • 1124 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The preoperative nurse read off the patient’s name, date of birth, allergies, procedure, and site of the procedure. A connection with the article and my clinical experience was the great communication that occurred during the procedure. The article, “10 Years In, Why Time Out Still Matters,” states that, “Team members responsible for recrafting the time-out process were surgeons, anesthesia professionals, nurses, and surgical technologists whose daily practice is at the point of care in our ORs (Guglielmi, 2014).” Surgical time out requires effective team work to prevent medical errors. While the nurse was communicating with the health care team, all distractions were minimized. One of the questions that the article asks about the time out is, “Were all distractions (eg, music) minimized during the process (eg, muted, turned off)? (Canacari, 2014).” The healthcare team did an excellent job at executing this because there was no music playing, no one was talking, and everyone was present in the situation. All of the team members actively listened, and when the nurse was finished she asked if everyone agreed, and they said yes. The time out itself took a couple of minutes, but helped prevent patient errors that could be fatal. Finally, the last connection that I made with…

    Two specific service diaries that stood out compared to the other diaries were H-E-B and Torilla Fresca. Both had uniquely excellent service satisfaction. On a daily bases, Torilla Fresca immediately impresses me. My experience based norm for this cafeteria shop is high. The women servers are very sweet and full of energy. It could be seven in the morning with a line backed up forming a 10 minute wait and yet the wonderful women are without a doubt cheerful to every customer. Not once have I seen them rush an order. The best service quality dimensions are empathy and responsiveness. They understand students need to move in and out as soon as possible for classes. When I am next in line, I have an open conversation with them. The mornings I choose to have breakfast, I will always…
