Patient Experience is “the sum of all interactions and communications that a patient has with your clinic, provider, and staff.” Patients are increasingly seeking care services that provide an impactful patient experience. Understanding what is patient experience and how to create a positive patient experience is a key step in moving toward patient-centered care. By looking at various aspects of patient experience, your clinic can assess the extent to which patients are receiving care that is responsive to their individual needs, preferences, and values.

As wellness providers strive to improve patient experience, they seek more information about how patient interactions, communication, engagement, and experience fit into the broader picture of care. Your clinic can improve the patient experience and acquire and retain more patients by implementing five key recommendations:
- Use the patient experience as a balance measure.
- Evaluate the entire care staff—not individual providers.
- Use patient-related stats and surveys to act on data.
- Leverage innovative technology solutions.
- Improve patient engagement
