Description/Abstract
Background:
Family Planning programs in the United States are implemented by local health departments and are maintained by federal Title X funding. Title X funding mandates annual reports from these local health departments and seeks to monitor the efficiency and performance of the local programs. This research aims to evaluate patient satisfaction in the family planning program at the Alexander County Health Department in coordination with the Family Planning Annual Report.
Methods:
Secondary data was collected from the Alexander County Health Department family planning Quality Improvement Plan for 2025 by the primary investigator. Survey Participants are from the Alexander County region and are at least 18 years of age. Surveys were administered and collected anonymously with no personally identifiable information. Analysis will utilize means, frequencies, and percentages.
Results:
Respondents had some understanding of family planning services, high satisfaction with services provided, and high satisfaction with the availability of the services. There is room for quality improvement.
Conclusions:
The Alexander County Health Department Family Planning Program patients are satisfied with the services provided. Quality Improvement Planning (QIP) increases understanding for services, patient satisfaction, and overall health outcomes. Patient numbers need to increase, specifically for the male population. Continued quality improvement planning is recommended for family planning services at the Alexander County Health Department.
