Quality of healthcare is supported by a constellation of variables, and certainly investments in infrastructure and technology can have a large impact on healthcare quality (Peltier, et al., 2009). But there is a body of research that indicates the "most dramatic improvements" can be achieved by the people who work in the field of healthcare (Peltier, et al., 2009). Research has found that dissatisfied healthcare employees can have a profoundly negative effect on the quality of care that patients receive (Peltier, et al., 2009). Naturally, this impacts levels of patient satisfaction and ultimately community loyalty to the hospital (Atkins, et al, 1996; Fahad Al-Mailam, 2005). Alternately, the research indicates that increasing employee engagement leads to improved employee satisfaction, and consequently, improved patient care and associated higher ratings of patient satisfaction (Peltier, et al., 2009).

Social Psychology Statement of the learner intends to research What I would like to be informed about regarding social psychology is all the ways and applications in which this concept can be understood and applied. Not just in scholarly situations but in every-day activities, among friends, at work, or in social situation. Having a good understanding of any aspect of psychology for a student (or any alert person) in these times is helpful and the pursuit of that understanding brings insight and knowledge. What the learner hypothesizes vis-à-vis what he may discover in the literature The discoveries that are available in the literature are going to be fun to explore, and I have a clue that they will relate to human behavior from a scientific perspective. I would imagine those scholarly journals will likely relate to leadership, to social behaviors from the perspective of individuals and from the perspective of a group, why certain people act the way they do and how people respond to mean spirited situations, how prejudice and bias play a role in social behavior, and other psychological aspects of social behaviors. This field is always interesting to me, because every new thing that is learned in a psychology context either reminds me of some situation I've been in, or reminds me of someone I have known, or simply points out why humans behave the way they do.
