Chief Experience Officer Role in Healthcare Explored by The Beryl Institute
Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) March 19, 2014 -- Recognizing and supporting a growing role in healthcare organizations, The Beryl Institute releases a new white paper, The Chief Experience Officer – An Emerging & Critical Role. The paper asserts that the role of Chief Experience Officer (CXO) or Senior Patient Experience Leader should be part of an organization’s leadership team and is central to a broader commitment to patient experience excellence.
Through the voices of fifteen senior patient experience leaders, the paper explores the impact and influence of the growing role of CXO. Contributors share how their roles emerged, successes and challenges faced in providing an improved patient and family experience and the value the role brings to an organization.
“Regardless of how organizations arrive at the role of CXO, its impact and influence is clearly growing,” said Jason Wolf, president of The Beryl Institute. “It is a role that encompasses and leads a broad portfolio of resources and services fundamental to the patient and family experience – from advocacy to service and, in some cases, broadening to lead or significantly influence people, quality and safety issues in healthcare.”
Patient experience leaders contributing to the paper include:
- Michael C. Bennick, Yale-New Haven Hospital
- Devin C. Carty, Cancer Treatment Centers of America
- Neil Churchill, NHS England
- Sven O. Gierlinger, Henry Ford Health System
