Day Three: Patient Experience Design & Innovation

Saturday, April 12th, 2014


11:05 Keynote: Melding Quality, Safety And The Patient Experience

People coming to the hospital for care experience a myriad of emotions fraught with fear, anxiety and vulnerability. Their primary expectations are to be kept safe, be restored to health and treated well. Safety, Quality and Service become essential threads to the fabric of superior healthcare. The omission of any one of these elements will result in not only the loss of confidence, but more significantly, could result in a significant safety event. By looking through the eyes of the patient we provide a vantage point for our staff to create a meaningful encounter that will instill a trusting and enduring relationship. What if we could provide an
exceptional experience for every patient, every day?

• Significant Elements of Quality
• Strategies adopted to protect patients
with quality initiatives, core easures and
benchmarks
• Taking ownership of a quality problem when
there is an opportunity for improved patient care
• Quality is everyone’s responsibility
• Safety in a highly complex environment
• Transparency within the system: Identifying and
reporting events that deviate from acceptable
policies, procedures and behaviors
• Designing barriers as prevention mechanisms to
improve safety
• Development of an accountability mechanism
• How do we connect? Attributes of service
• Seeing care from the patient’s perspective
• Non-negotiable practices in service
• The art of keeping loyal patients
