New Study Shows Parking Impacts Patient Satisfaction Ratings by Seniors

October 15, 2015 – Milton, ON. Parking BOXX, a North American-based parking systems manufacturer, today released the findings of a study examining the relationship between hospital parking system usability and patient satisfaction ratings among senior patients.

The study, conducted in partnership with the Organization and Management Solutions (OMS) at the University of Guelph, found that the ease of use of parking systems at hospital facilities has a measurable impact on the overall patient experience and satisfaction scores reported by senior visitors and patients.

Key findings indicate that seniors who encounter difficulties with parking payment machines or access systems report lower overall satisfaction with their hospital visit, regardless of the quality of medical care received. Clear signage, intuitive interfaces, and accessible equipment design emerged as critical factors in a positive parking experience for this demographic.

The study provides actionable recommendations for hospital facility managers and parking operators to improve parking system accessibility for seniors, contributing to higher patient satisfaction scores and a more positive overall healthcare experience.
