What patients like or dislike in physicians: Analyzing drivers of patient satisfaction and dissatisfaction using a digital topic modeling approach

作者:

Highlights:

• The current research proposed a text mining approach to investigate the drivers of patient satisfaction and dissatisfaction across different types of diseases.

• Drawing on Herzberg's two-factor theory, this research identified the key topics of patient satisfaction and dissatisfaction expressed in online doctor reviews.

• The text mining method based on combining Sentinet and LDA was applied to disclose the semantics of patients’ healthcare experiences.

• The classification results reveal that the proposed model that analyzes patients’ opinions toward different aspects of care outperformed other state-of-the-art models.
