The quality of healthcare services, especially in nursing care, may have an impact to patient outcomes and satisfaction. This study aimed to appraise the healthcare services at the Rio Tuba Nickel Foundation Incorporated (RTNFI) Hospital through the insights of employees, dependents, and patients, using a descriptive survey design with self-assisted questionnaires and descriptive statistical analysis. The assessment has focus into 4 aspects regarding healthcare accessibility, medical technology, provider attitudes, and quality of patient care in order to identify strengths and areas for improvement. The findings revealed moderate overall satisfaction (mean 3.26), but highlighted significant deficiencies, particularly in accessibility (both regular and after-hours) and operational efficiency, including long wait times, unclear communication, and poor scheduling. While basic healthcare provision and referral systems were noted as strengths, challenges related to timely service delivery and responsiveness required attention. These insights informed the development of a targeted Nursing Service Improvement Plan aimed at enhancing nursing competencies and service delivery processes to improve patient experiences and satisfaction at RTNFI Hospital.
