Watkins surveys glow, but only 102 returned
By Joann Birk
Kansan staff writer
Watkins Memorial Health Center administrators are using a survey to say that the center is making the grade with KU students.
but one Watkins official says the survey was unscientific because it questioned only a small fraction of the students who have visited Watkins this year.
John Farley, Lawrence graduate student and an intern at Watkins, administered the survey to 200 KU students and tallied the results. Of 102 students who returned the surveys, the majority were filled with praise for the student health center.
The number of students who completed the surveys, however, was significantly lower than the average number of students who visit on any given day. Approximately 150 students visit Watkins each day. More than 5,000 students have visited Watkins this semester.
Jim Boyle, associate director of student health services at Watkins, said the survey was not scientific because it surveyed only students who were in the health center the
week that the survey was administered. However, the survey provided some guidance for doctors and administrators on areas that needed improvement, he said.
But at least one student is not as satisfied as the students who completed the survey.
Danielle Hamil, Lawrence graduate student, said the few visits she had made to Watkins had given her reason to never return.
"If we notice a particular problem, we will run additional surveys, and we can respond to areas of concern." Boyle said.
Concerns cited by this year's survey included high fees, long waits, lack of privacy and additional fees for weekend visits, Boyle said.
"They spent no time with me at all and did not answer my questions," she said. "Every time I see the results of those surveys, I just laugh and wonder why they didn't ask me."
ON THE RECORD
This year's survey asked students to rate aspects of their health care at Watkins from one to five. Responses ranging from three to five were considered satisfied patients. The overall satisfaction rating was 98.5 percent.
