“…It is a tool that can be applied to improve quality, as its use enables the elimination of false flags and indicates ways of enhancing current activities, and, consequently, increasing efficiency [ 25 ]. The Pareto analysis of data in a study by Gupta et al on the satisfaction of patients from nine district hospitals in Bihar indicated that increasing patient satisfaction by more than 60% can be achieved by referring to the three highest attributes of dissatisfaction, i.e., a lack of availability of medicines, unsatisfactory time of consultation and cleanliness of the rooms [ 39 ]. The Pareto analysis of the research conducted by the Leźnicka et al, carried out with the help of the PASAT toolkit on 2280 patients, indicated that as many as one in four respondents (25%) declared a problem with information on patients’ rights.…”

The aims of this research are to assess the level of satisfaction with medical care among patients treated in osteoporosis clinics and to determine the relationship among the frequency of visits to the doctor, the duration of treatment, socio-demographic factors, and patient satisfaction with the medical care they receive. The study was conducted from August 2016 to July 2018 at osteoporosis clinics in eastern Poland. The study participants were 312 patients treated for osteopenia or osteoporosis. The authors utilized two research instruments: the PASAT POZ questionnaire and their own questionnaire. The results indicate that the duration of osteoporosis treatment is a factor that significantly influences the level of satisfaction with medical care: the longer the treatment time, the poorer the assessment of the clinic, and therefore, the lower the patient degree of satisfaction. Our analysis shows that women assess clinics more positively overall. Additionally, the higher the study participants’ age, the lower the general assessment of the clinic. A further analysis showed that respondents in better financial situations and with higher levels of education tended to assess clinics more favorably. The Pareto-Lorenz analysis indicated that the key element in general assessments of specialist clinics is the doctor. It is advisable for health service providers to monitor the quality of health care they are providing and make improvements. Therefore, further research is needed, especially in relation to chronic diseases such as osteoporosis.
