The Beryl Institute Announces Initial Research Findings Showing Patient Experience Remains a Top Priority for Healthcare Organizations
Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) April 08, 2015 -- New research conducted by The Beryl Institute shows that patient experience remains a top priority across organizations around the world and throughout the continuum of care. With findings initially announced at Patient Experience Conference 2015, this study engaged over 1,500 respondents from 21 countries representing 6 continents sharing the challenges and opportunities they are facing and the steps they are taking to address the patient experience. In addition to healthcare leaders, it invited the perspectives of those receiving care – patients, residents and family members – to provide a full view of this issue.
According to the research, a move to frame patient experience in healthcare continues to grow:
• Patient experience remains a top priority for organizations across all segments
• Committed leadership, investment in resources and strong culture identified as primary drivers in patient experience success
• Experience priorities are shifting to communication and clear inclusion of patient, resident and family voice
• Quality/clinical outcomes seen as measures most impacted by positive patient experience
• Consumers view patient experience as a significant factor in healthcare decisions
“With the research showing an increasing focus and investment in patient experience and consumers reflecting that the patient, resident and family experience is significant, we are truly entering an era where we can say without hesitation that patient experience matters,” said Jason Wolf, president of The Beryl Institute.
The Institute will release a full report of the findings in early summer, highlighting the key results and trends from this research. To learn more about the biennial patient experience study, visit: http://www.theberylinstitute.org/?page=PXBENCHMARKING.
