The Challenges Patients Face in U.S. Healthcare

Navigating the U.S. healthcare system can be an overwhelming experience for many patients. Studies show that one in four Americans have skipped necessary medical care due to high costs, while others face delays and frustrations of pre-authorizations, confusion in the lack of transparency in billing practices, and frustations in navigating a fragmented care system. Additionally, the complexity of insurance policies and administrative burdens leaves many patients feeling disillusioned. These barriers impact access to care and erode trust in the healthcare system.

Why Trust Matters in Healthcare

Trust is the cornerstone of a positive patient-physician relationship. When patients trust their care team, they are more likely to share important details about their health, adhere to treatment plans, and feel confident in their care decisions. Research consistently links high levels of trust with improved patient satisfaction and engagement, both critical to achieving better health outcomes.

At Sano Specialty Care, we recognize that trust is earned through compassionate, transparent, and patient-centered care. By prioritizing communication and empathy, we build the foundation for long-lasting relationships that empower patients to participate in their health journey actively.

The Impact of Patient Satisfaction on Outcomes

High patient satisfaction is about more than creating a positive experience—it’s about driving results. Patients who feel respected and heard are more likely to follow through with treatment plans, attend follow-up appointments, and adopt healthier lifestyles. Studies show that patients who trust their physicians are 2.5 times more likely to adhere to prescribed therapies, leading to lower rates of hospital readmissions and improved chronic disease management.

Our recent Net Promoter Score of 83, based on feedback from over 2,000 patients, reflects this trust and highlights the meaningful connections we’ve built with those we serve. Our patient-centered focus highlights the meaningful connections we’ve built with those we serve, demonstrating that trust and satisfaction pave the way for better health outcomes.

Addressing the Extra Burdens in Healthcare

In a healthcare system fraught with challenges, providing excellent care requires going above and beyond clinical expertise. At Sano, we’ve implemented patient-first initiatives like simplified appointment scheduling, clear communication of care plans, and seamless coordination across specialties. These efforts alleviate patients’ administrative burdens, allowing them to focus on what matters most: their health.
