GE Healthcare's Diagnostic Cardiology Service team prides itself on exceeding the expectations of its customers. A new poll shows the customers are rewarding their efforts.

MD Buyline's Q2 surveys show significant improvements in customer scores across the business. GE Healthcare's Resting ECG took the top spot in the electrocardiograph category and the company scored significant increases in five of eight categories, overall. In the survey's Holter Monitoring, Cardiac Stress and Cardiology Management segments, GEHC improved in all eight categories*.

"As a team, our Diagnostic Cardiology Services group has been putting a strong emphasis on gathering and acting on customer feedback," said Rich Eng, General Manager of GE Healthcare's Diagnostic Cardiology Services unit. "Sure, it's nice to see that rewarded in a survey but it's the story behind those numbers that matters most. We work with our customers every day and are constantly adjusting to meet their demands. That means our world-class field engineers are getting to their facilities faster. Our Customer Repair Center is streamlined to turn around most jobs in two days while feeding the customer real-time updates, throughout the repair process. Our dedicated, U.S. based technical support team is on call 24/7/365. Our customers are seeing shorter wait times, expert attention and are benefiting from the remote connectivity offerings on our Insite-enabled equipment. We're gathering feedback at each step and constantly improving. That will continue, no matter which way the scores head. Our customers, frankly, should expect that of us. We're always proud to deliver."

* Resting ECG improved categories include Installation/Implementation, Applications Training, Service Response Time, Service Repair Quality and Composite Score. Holter improved categories include System Performance,, System Reliability, Installation/Implementation, Applications Training, Service Response Time, Service Repair Quality and Composite Score. Ranking improvement claims based on comparison of MDBuyline Q2 2008 survey and MDBuyline Q1 2008 survey.
