Using Patient Experience to Drive Improvement
Focus on seeing process through your customer’s eyes
Learn to use the proven data collection techniques of experience-based design (EBD) to truly understand your patients’ needs, drive quality improvement efforts, and prompt staff innovation and engagement.
There are many ways to embed the patient’s voice in re-designing processes. Often times, old processes are designed more around the resources available and less around the patient experience. When patient focus groups are used, sometimes we don’t know what to do with all the results. We will discuss on how to use the data you collect to improve processes and measure results.
This workshop will give you an understanding of:
- how to add clarity and consistency to your quality improvement work
- discover how to identify emotional touchpoints that influence the patient experience
- practice qualitative and quantitative experience-based design methods to guide process improvement
- after this workshop you will be able to use the tools and techniques to apply to your next improvement project
Who Should Attend:
Improvement professionals and operational team leaders who would like to learn new methods of engaging the patient in improving both the quality and service of their experiences.
