Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted in Wuhan China. A total of 2,719 questionnaires were collected and 2,626 valid answer sheets were obtained. Through statistical description, chi-square test. Gamma coefficient analysis and binary logistic regression, the key factors affecting patient satisfaction were obtained. Results: It was found that the "Medical staff's service attitude" was the most important factor affecting patient satisfaction, followed by "Medical staff services technology" and "Hospital convenience". The demographic characteristics of patients had no significant effect on satisfaction, and "Medical services utilization" of patients had a certain impact on satisfaction. Patients had a higher degree of satisfaction with the "Hospital convenience", "Hospital facilities and environment", "Medical staff services technology", "Medical staff service attitude", but had a lower degree of satisfaction with "Medical expense" and "Reimbursement ratio for medical expenses". Conclusion: "Medical staff's service attitude", "Medical staff services technology" and "Hospital convenience" was the most three important factors. The health managers should focus on the above three aspects and implement appropriate management decisions to improve patient satisfaction.
