Hospital satisfaction contributes to life satisfaction through the mediating effects of health care and personal health satisfaction. The strategic implication for hospital administrators is that hospital satisfaction affects not only facility preference and patronage, but also patients’ subjective well-being or quality of life.

Hospital satisfaction contributes to life satisfaction through the mediating effects of health care and personal health satisfaction. The strategic implication for hospital administrators is that hospital satisfaction affects not only facility preference and patronage, but also patients’ subjective well-being or quality of life.
The Theoretical Model
Community healthcare satisfaction refers to an overall satisfaction a person may feel toward the general healthcare environment in their community. This overall assessment can be assumed to be a function of the person’s perception of a variety of general healthcare programs and services in the community. These programs or services may include: alcohol and drug abuse programs, inpatient hospital care, outpatient hospital care, and elderly health services, among others.
The relationship between hospital satisfaction and life satisfaction is that life satisfaction is functionally related to satisfaction with all of life’s domains and subdomains. Life satisfaction is influenced by the lower levels of life concerns. This argument is supported by the Andrews and Withey (1976) model, which maintains that life satisfaction occurs at various levels of specificity. That is, life satisfaction is influenced by evaluations of individual life concerns. Thus, the greater the satisfaction with such concerns as personal health, work, family, and leisure, the greater the satisfaction with life in general. The relation between satisfaction with hospital services and life satisfaction is a type of bottom-up spillover effect.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The entire content of the report is summarized here.
THEORY AND MODEL
The theoretical model underlying the survey is described here and the theoretical constructs are clearly defined. The research supporting the model is also discussed in this section.
DESCRIPTION OF THE SURVEY
This section contains a description of the constructs with corresponding survey items.
SAMPLING AND DATA COLLECTION
This part of the report describes the call issued to people to participate in the survey, the deadline imposed, any incentives used to encourage participation, the survey link, the number of people who actually participated in the survey, the total number of people contacted, and the response rate. The response rate of the client organization is compared to past response rates of other organizations.
SURVEY RESULTS
This section of the report provides descriptive statistics related to each survey item with figures (e.g., bar charts) against the norm. The norm is calculated based on the average of all past surveys that have been administered through MIQOLS.
DISCUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The survey results are then summarized and interpreted in this section. As such, specific strengths and weaknesses are identified. The client organization is then encouraged to bolster their strengths and correct weaknesses.
REFERENCES
Exact references of corresponding text citations are fleshed out in this section.
