ABSTRACT
The paper aims to determine the role of (sub)culture(s) in the perceptions of planned changes made to advance healthcare quality and patient satisfaction in a problematic emergency department (ED) between 2006-2010 by comparing the findings of two-period of time.
Both qualitative and quantitative designs were used. First qualitative data through observations and interviews were gathered in the Kocaeli State Hospital Emergency Department (KSHED), and then quantitative data through the two questionnaires we developed was collected. Five hundred ED patients in 2006 and 366 in 2010 responded to the surveys. Chi-square test for categorical data and paired samples t-test for ratio were used to analyze the relationships and differences between demographic characteristics and dimensions of satisfaction and perceived cultural changes of health quality by years.
Several planned changes implemented in the ED between 2006 and 2010 were perceived positively by the patients and contributed significantly (p<0.001) to overall patient satisfaction and healthcare quality in 2010. Among the perceived cultural changes, human to human interactional dimension of improvements were most drastically moved up (from 44.1% to 64.4%) and assessed satisfactorily. 
KSHED hasa a unique cultture consistingg of two subcultures, institutional and organizational, through which patients and health staff interpret the meanings in their perceptions and expectations, and interact, accordingly determines the degree of their satisfaction and perceived healthcare quality, resulting in the successful management of organizational culture changes. The more the reciprocal expectations are overlapped; the more organizational culture changes are positively perceived and the more their relations satisfactorily function.
