Improving The Patient Experience Through Provider Communication Skills Building, Denise M. Kennedy Mba, John P. Fasolino Md, David J. Gullen Md
Improving The Patient Experience Through Provider Communication Skills Building, Denise M. Kennedy Mba, John P. Fasolino Md, David J. Gullen Md
Patient Experience Journal
The doctor’s interpersonal skills are arguably the most important to clinical outcome and patient experience. A peer-facilitated, communication skills-building course for physicians has been provided twice annually since its inception in 2004. The course was designed to increase personal awareness, as well as to help physicians develop new communication and interpersonal skills. Satisfaction data from 3,561 patient surveys on 80 providers who attended the course between 2006 and 2010 were analyzed one year before and one year after course participation. After completing the course, the proportion of “excellent” ratings of provider service (the highest rating on a 5-point scale) increased …

Transforming The Patient Experience: Bringing To Life A Patient- And Family-Centred Interprofessional Collaborative Practice Model Of Care At Kingston General Hospital, Anndale Mctavish Ma, Cynthia Phillips Rrt, Med
Patient Experience Journal
The Kingston General Hospital strategic plan includes transforming the patient experience and bringing to life new models of interprofessional care and education. The implementation of the Interprofessional Collaborative Practice Model has been the foundation of this transformational change. Areas identified for improvement included communication, discharge planning, and purposeful engagement of patients and families in the care process. Through a system-wide approach to change, it was expected that the organization would be better prepared to deliver safer, higher quality care and enriched experiences for patients, families and practitioners. From March to October 2009, 54 representatives from various disciplines and services gathered …

A Daughter’S Frustration With The Dearth Of Patient- And Family-Centered Care, Cindy Brach
A Daughter’S Frustration With The Dearth Of Patient- And Family-Centered Care, Cindy Brach
Patient Experience Journal
Patient involvement in decision-making is an increasingly recognized ethical imperative, one that requires attention to health literacy. Health care that is truly patient- and family-centered, however, is the exception rather than the rule. This first person account of a hospitalization describes the lack of patient and family inclusion in decision-making, failure to use plain language and other health literacy strategies, and disregard for patient and family preferences. The author concludes that if the health care system is going to shift from paternalistic to patient- and family-centered, providers must be trained how to communicate and partner with patients and families. Even …

Health care providers and system administrators are in the midst of a paradigm shift; moving from paternalism toward an egalitarian approach. For patient centred care to occur, health care providers must prioritize patient needs; provide information regarding treatments while taking patient preferences and expectations into account. While there is literature regarding patient centredness, there is less information from the patient perspective about the experience of being a patient and the influence on behaviour. Using phenomenological research methods and the theory of planned behaviour as a theoretical framework, this study addressed the questions, a) what is the essence of being a …
Evaluation And Measurement Of Patient Experience, Sherri L. Lavela Phd, Mph, Mba, Andrew S. Gallan Phd
Evaluation And Measurement Of Patient Experience, Sherri L. Lavela Phd, Mph, Mba, Andrew S. Gallan Phd
Patient Experience Journal
Despite the increasing presence of a variety of measures of patient health care experiences in research and policy, there remains a lack of consensus regarding measurement. The objectives of this paper were to: (1) explore and describe what is known about measures and measurement of patient experience and (2) describe evaluation approaches/methods used to assess patient experience.
Patient-experience does not simply reflect clinical outcomes or adherence–driven outcomes; rather it seeks to represent a unique encompassing dimension that is challenging to measure. Several challenges exist when measuring patient experience, in part, because it is a complex, ambiguous concept that lacks a …

How Does Patient Experience Fit Into The Overall Healthcare Picture?, Karen Luxford Bsc(Hons), Phd, Faim, Faaqhc, Sue Sutton Rn, Phd, Fhimss
Patient Experience Journal
Understanding the experience of patients provides insight into health care as well as being a crucial first step towards partnering with patients to drive improvement. Increasingly, health care organizations gain feedback from patients about their experience through surveys. Patients are also turning to other avenues, including the internet, to document their experiences.
Although long recognised as a domain of quality, evidence of the link between patient experience and clinical outcomes has emerged more recently. Organizations that succeed in improving patient experience have adopted a strategic approach to patient focus that incorporates both patient feedback and consumer engagement.
Adopting a patient …

In recent years, perceptions of performance and quality of healthcare organizations have begun to move beyond examining the provision of excellent clinical care, alone, and to consider and embrace the patient experience as an important indicator. There is a need to determine the extent to which clear and formal definitions exist, have common overarching themes, and/or have unique, but important constructs that should be considered more widely. In this article, we provide a 14-year synthesis of existing literature and other sources (2000-2014) that have been used to define patient experience. A total of 18 sources (articles or organizational websites) were …
Concern For The Patient’S Experience Comes Of Age, Irwin Press Phd
Concern For The Patient’S Experience Comes Of Age, Irwin Press Phd
Patient Experience Journal
In this special guest editorial for the inaugural issue of Patient Experience Journal. Dr. Press reflects on how the focus on patient experience has evolved. He starts with a reflection, "A journal devoted exclusively to the patient’s experience? A patient satisfaction survey mandated by CMS for all hospitals and a portion of reimbursement dependent upon the scores? An Institute and an “Association” addressing Patient Experience? A new hospital administrative position labeled “Chief Experience Officer”? Some 30 years ago no one would have predicted any of these."
Dr. Press helps us explore and review how the patient experience movement has …
Expanding The Dialogue On Patient Experience, Jason A. Wolf Phd
Expanding The Dialogue On Patient Experience, Jason A. Wolf Phd
Patient Experience Journal
It is with great excitement that I welcome you to the inaugural issue of Patient Experience Journal (PXJ). This publication in so many ways epitomizes all that is right and good about the patient experience movement itself. That being: no one individual or organization owns this conversation or can claim to have every answer, but rather it is a true effort of a community of voices from research to practice, from caregivers to patients and family members, across the care continuum and into the reaches of resources provided and concepts yet unknown.
This journal is a product of and …
