We too have the same mantra – Data analysis through patients feedback. We have been documenting the walk in patients of rVita Integrative health centers since Aug 2010 with three primary goals patient care, Feed back and patient engagement. Great to see someone doing the same.

Are there any results, or just lots of plans and pilots and promises?
