To study the impact of COVID-19 precautionary procedures and quality of healthcare services on patients’ overall satisfaction in the Jordanian outpatient private clinics.

Linear Regression was employed to perform the data analysis. A random sample of 400 respondents participated in a questionnaire. Results revealed that COVID-19 precautionary procedures and quality of healthcare services had an impact on overall patient satisfaction.

It is recommended that these precautions be maintained until the COVID-19 pandemic has passed. Patient satisfaction measurements give managers a more responsive system of health care delivery in response to patient wants and desires.The paper investigates the impact of COVID-19 precautionary measures and service quality on patient satisfaction in outpatient private clinics.
