The Patient Experience Body of Knowledge and courses exemplify the Institute’s position as an active community of practice on patient experience improvement. This work frames the field of patient experience, defines its core ideas and provides a clear foundation of knowledge that supports the consistent and continuous development of current and future leaders in the field.
Courses are now available for the following domains:
• Communication
• Employee Engagement
• History of the PX Movement
• Patient and Family Centeredness
• Service Recovery
The three-part course for each domain includes an on-demand learning session providing comprehensive content overview, a facilitated virtual classroom offering the opportunity to discuss practical application with peers and access to an online community for ongoing support. Additional courses will be released soon with the full set of 15 domains to be available by the end of 2014.
“The power of this process has been, and will continue to be, including the voices of hundreds of individuals from around the world in a collective discussion on what it means to truly be a leader in patient experience efforts,” said Deanna Frings, Director, Learning and Professional Development, The Beryl Institute. “The Body of Knowledge courses are designed to help healthcare leaders and professionals acquire skills that will prepare them to address challenges in the field and, to ultimately, improve the patient experience.”
