Establish a Patient-Focused Culture and Drive Growth
In the past decade, patient experience has been a game changer for providers looking to surpass the competition and increase community impact. “Improving the patient experience can help a hospital improve its financial performance by strengthening customer loyalty, building reputation and brand, and boosting utilization of hospital services through increased referrals to family and friends,” states a recent report from the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions.
Fostering positive customer experience is the secret sauce for any organization. While different terminology is used across industries, the concept is the same: focus on delighting the people you are serving. As a healthcare provider, arming oneself with an understanding of what an excellent patient experience looks like will be a key component to meeting your hospital’s long term goals.
