KU students are pleased with their services at the gynecological clinic at Watkins Health Center.
Recently released results of a patient satisfaction survey conducted in Spring 1992 indicate that 94 percent of the responses were positive and 6 percent negative about the clinic as a whole.
Jim Boyle, associate director of Watkins Health Center, said he was happy with the results.
"Basically we consider any less than 80 percent statistics unsatisfactory," he said. "We prefer over 90 percent. We realize that we're not going to please everyone, but we strive to please everyone."
On a scale from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree", "students responded positively to each question of the five-question survey.
Surveys were randomly mailed to 225 students who were treated more than once by a physician or a nurse practitioner in the clinic. Ninety-three students responded.
to the gneocheological in August of 1991, and any time a new professional, procedure or program is added, a student survey is conducted. He said the center conducted several surveys each year.
Boyle said the survey was conducted mainly because a nurse was added
"If we detect a problem, we try to take steps to correct the problem and conduct a survey a couple of months later to see if we corrected the problem," he said.
Charles Yockey, chief of staff at Watkins Health Center, said the standards and accountability of student health care had improved during the last 25 years.
"Student health in the past has had a bad image," he said. "It takes a long time to improve your image. Medical care has changed since our college students' parents were students. Student health in general in the whole country had a poor reputation."
Yockey said that a dissatisfied student would tell 10 friends within 48 hours but that a satisfied student probably would not tell anyone for a couple of weeks.
"In business, perception is reality," he said. "Our best advertising is students that come in and use us."

Panel to study fee-payment plan

Linda Mullens, assistant vice chancellor for student affairs, said the committee would use the results to make a recommendation for or
Students who paid a $100 deposit instead of their entire tuition by mail in early August are being asked why by the University Fees Policy Committee this week.
The committee is calling 200 of the 4,000 students who chose the delayed payment option. The group will analyze the telephone survey, surveys conducted in freshman orientation classes and surveys of the other Big Eight schools and institutions which use a mail-in fee payment system.
"I realize it not a very scientific survey," Mullens said. "We're just trying to get information on the basic questions surrounding the deposit option to help us make a recommendation."
against continuing the delayed-payment option to the central administration's budget and finance committee, which will decide the fate of the mail-in system.
The callers ask students three main questions:
that option.
Why the student chose to delay fee payment.
If the University raised the option to a higher fee, $250, would the student still choose that option.
If the University charged a fee of $25 for students who opted to delay fee payment, would they still choose
"The rationale behind asking them to pay a service charge is that the deposit option has an expensive administrative cost itself," Mullens said. "Any time you handle a transaction twice, there will be an administrative cost, so if a lot of people use it, the expense goes up."
But expense is one reason many students chose to delay full payment of their tuition.
"I'd have to work a lot more to come up with $1,000 by the beginning of August," said Kylie Haines, a Topek junior who used the delayed payment option. "It's more convenient for me to save up and pay when I enroll. That way I have a whole extra month I can work."
