New KLAS research shows how patients are becoming savvy consumers and have changed their expectations for care delivery and why health systems are hiring consumer experience experts from outside of healthcare to improve patient experience.
Patient experience experts from Cedars-Sinai, Novant Health, Feedtrail and the University of Richmond share how patient experience data can be leveraged to understand gaps in care, how experiences differ by segment and patient population, and how they are beginning to tailor engagement to the individual patient.
The patient experience conversation is transcending historical levels in health systems and making and is a top priority for chief executives like the president of the Medical University of South Carolina. David J. Cole, MD, and other leaders from MUSC share how patients are their guiding light in multiple programs and how that focus improves outcomes.

Our guest host’s latest book, “Navigating the Code”, presents the views of eighteen thought-leaders in medicine and healthcare information technology and takes a simple, factual, businesslike approach to solving healthcare’s problems. Check out the excerpt below and learn more on the “Navigating the Code” website.
Over the past several years, the word “virtual” has swept over healthcare. Nearly every provider organization is looking for ways to use technology to engage with patients virtually, but so far, progress has been spotty.
As the trend of consumerism in health care accelerates, health systems are facing greater competition from non-traditional health care players. Health systems must also come to terms with a growing expectation among consumers for an advanced digital experience on par with what is delivered by other industries.
A lot of EMR companies offer solutions that provide patients access to their information while they’re in the hospital, similar to a traditional “portal” app. But giving patients access to their medical records and some education doesn’t complete the full inpatient journey. Technologies exist now that enhance the whole hospital stay.
We often hear questions from hospitals and health systems about the best way to engage patients at the bedside. Healthcare is embracing technology in new ways during the COVID-19 pandemic, and we’re beginning to see more and more tablets brought to the patient bedside. But tablets can be a significant investment and it’s important to think about all the benefits and drawbacks before making that decision.
I’ve always believed in the importance of patient experience. But as I heal at home and return to work touting the benefits of giving patients self-service tools and digitizing workflows to make nurses’ lives easier, I have a new appreciation for the technologies enabling care.
Experts say patient-provider connection can be maintained, ‘web-side’ manner can be taught. Is the personal connection between patient and physician lost when an in-person visit is replaced with a telemedicine visit?
Providence was the first health system in the nation to care for a coronavirus (COVID-19) patient. From the earliest stages of the pandemic, our leaders worked together to develop innovative digital solutions that would meet the growing health needs of the communities we serve. Along the way, we’ve learned valuable lessons and gained insight into what’s broken in the healthcare system and what we can do to fix it.
An estimated 10,000 Americans turn 65 every day, representing a significant challenge to the national health care system. Meanwhile, the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically accelerated adoption of a primary tool to meet that challenge: telehealth.
There are two approaches that one can take when innovating in the healthcare space. One method is highly technology-driven providing an end-to-end solution. The other is patient-centered with the focus being on the patient and clinician experience.
There’s opportunity for digital technology to open up access and help build trusted relationships, but innovation can’t just happen from afar. Effective and sustainable change requires real conversations with real people in underserved communities to truly understand potential solutions.
Virtual patient observation can be used in a variety of settings but is key to helping hospitals avoid costs from fall injuries. Every year hundreds of thousands of patients fall in hospitals, with one-third resulting in serious injury. The Joint Commission estimates that, on average, a fall with injury costs $14,000.
