“Why is Patient Experience important? When we get the experience right it is a win win win! For the patient is has shown to have a positive impact on key patient outcomes including clinical outcomes such as mortality; for the colleague it has shown to have a positive impact on engagement and productivity including for example retention and absenteeism; for the organisation it has shown to have reputation and efficiency impacts amongst many others, for example length of stay, DNAs and reputation score. Patient experience matters!”

“Patient experience is crucial because it directly impacts patient trust, satisfaction, and overall engagement in their care. A positive experience encourages patients to adhere to their treatment plans, leading to better health outcomes and fewer complications. We should PRIORITIZE the patient experience because it will foster long-term loyalty, enhance the reputation, and improve patient retention in the hospital and other healthcare organizations.”
