Why Improving The Human Experience Should Be Our Goal
Thomas G. Howell MD -
Medical Director for Patient Experience, Con-OB GYN,,
Mayo Clinic Health System
Patient Satisfaction is transforming to patient experience. Historically PX has been rooted in two things: complaint management (service recovery), and satisfaction data (CAHPs, loyalty surveys, etc.). The approach has been to look at targets, provide data, and work on improvement. While that improves metrics, does it improve the experience? We should think about this in the context of connecting and relationships. What are the priorities of our patients, families and staff? Start there. Dr. Howell will touch on these and share insights into:
- Connecting with our organizational values
- Putting the pieces together in a meaningful way that enhances the experience
- Using metrics to measure improvements in the human experience

Attendees will learn of various ways PAC members can become engaged, committed, and truly make a difference and how a rather young PAC made a commitment to bring the patient’s voice to various avenues across the hospital and truly make a difference in the patient experience.
