Doing good CX, saves lives. Doing great CX, helps people thrive. Here are some of the impacts when there is a gap in the experience and as a result there is care leakage… “About 56% of those disenrolled say they skipped or delayed care or prescriptions while attempting to renew their Medicaid coverage.” “Nearly 1 in 3 disenrolled adults discovered only when they sought health care — such as going to a doctor or a pharmacy — that they had been dropped from Medicaid.” Accessing healthcare should not feel like getting a root canal. To prevent care leakage there needs to be a deliberate CX approach to ensure an integrated and continuous management of the care experience to ensure greatest positive impact and outcome for all. This is why it is so important for U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services and all of the State health agencies to focus on CX— to not only focus on good CX, but great CX. Excited to see more and more conversations across healthcare and government where we are looking at ways to operationalize and hardwire CX into healthcare. Great CX is great healthcare. #Leadership #Management #CustomerExperience #HumanExperience #PatientExperience #Innovation #Healthcare #Technology #Government
