Happy PTs, Happy Patients: How Luna Ensures Quality with “PT Happiness”

At Luna, we’re on a mission to re-imagine the physical therapy experience for patients and the therapists who serve them. We deliver a world-class physical therapy service with a 99.6% patient satisfaction rating. That wouldn’t be possible without the passionate and dedicated support of our team of physical therapists. We take their feedback seriously and use it to continuously improve the quality of our service.

Why PT happiness matters

Research shows a strong positive correlation between employee job satisfaction and patient satisfaction in the healthcare setting. Put simply, happier employees tend to be more engaged with their work, and higher engagement leads to better business outcomes. Organizations prioritizing a highly engaged team show accelerated performance in the following areas: 

  • 40% fewer quality defects
  • 17% increase in productivity
  • 41% decrease in absenteeism
  • 59% less turnover

According to a recent study by Salesforce, employees who feel their voice is heard are 4.6 times more likely to perform their best work. In an industry where quality of work is closely tied to successful patient outcomes, enabling consistent two-way communication between employees and leadership is absolutely essential. 

How Luna measures and tracks PT happiness

We utilize our technology to facilitate regular check-ins with our team of almost 2,000 licensed physical therapists. Rather than waiting on results from an annual engagement survey, we give therapists the opportunity to provide ongoing feedback through the app. Every two weeks, our Luna PTs receive one question to answer in the Luna app: How do you feel?

Therapists who select 'unhappy' receive follow-up via email, text, or call based on thefeedback provided. Luna takes their feedback very seriously and works on continuous improvement to ensure that our technology and Concierge and Clinical teams meet their expectations.

Employee happiness can not be reduced to a simple, quantitative figure. But access to this kind of real-time feedback is invaluable. It allows our team to keep a pulse on how our PTs feel and take immediate action to continuously improve their experience. 

You can find our latest PT happiness scores below:

For context, more than half of people in the U.S. are unhappy with their jobs. We’re very proud of these numbers and will keep working to improve the Luna therapist experience based on this ongoing feedback.
