Addressing the patient Experience Skills Gap
Many of the skills required to improve the patient experience–especially in today’s challenging times–aren’t taught in school, resulting in profound variance and inconsistency in the patient journey. Developing a skill-building strategy for all care team members on evidence-derived patient connection behaviors is essential to overcome these gaps.
How Practicing Excellence Helps
Practicing Excellence’s patient experience programs are designed to develop patient connection skills that help clinicians, leaders, and teams deliver exceptional experiences to patients at every touch point, every time.
Our programs are designed by clinicians and industry experts and have been proven to advance the experience of both patients and those providing care.
“We showed in a relatively short period of time that participating physicians did better on their patient experience scores, and also felt better about being doctors.”
– Ira Nash, Executive Director, Northwell Health
