"People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care." Patient satisfaction isn’t just about competence—it's about courtesy and compassion. The first encounter a patient has with a hospital can shape their entire perception of the facility. Good patient satisfaction brings benefits beyond the immediate experience. It can improve staff satisfaction, reduce provider malpractice risk, and increase hospital financial growth. It can even reduce turnover. Poor patient satisfaction has major consequences. For every patient who complains, many more are unhappy but silent. Dissatisfied patients often do not return and share their negative experiences widely. To improve patient satisfaction, health care providers should focus on key elements like effective communication, understanding patient expectations, and involving patients in decision-making. Simple actions like greeting patients warmly and listening empathetically can make a big difference. Learn more about how we are improving patient care and satisfaction: https://lnkd.in/gRaH9BhZ

Wisdom Wednesday 🔐 📣💡 Patient Care Coordinators is a pivotal role in delivering outstanding patient experiences and promoting lifelong oral health. Consider championing a language that reflects your commitment to proactive care, empathy, and patient well-being. Our last Wisdom Wednesday discussed the profound impact of language, and this week, we’re focusing on a crucial role within our practice: the Treatment Coordinator (TCO) vs. the Patient Care Coordinator (PCC). Why PCC over TCO? Let’s break it down: 1. Focus on Prevention: If our primary goal is not just to treat issues but to prevent them altogether, then by emphasising “Patient Care Coordinator,” we underscore our commitment to proactive healthcare and wellness. 2. Holistic Patient Care: A PCC embodies a philosophy of comprehensive patient care. They’re not solely focused on treatment plans; they’re dedicated to the overall well-being of our patients, addressing their concerns, needs, and goals beyond just treatments. 3. Patient-Centric Approach: Your practice should surely revolve around our patients. By adopting the title of Patient Care Coordinator, we signal your patient-centric ethos, demonstrating your dedication to personalised care and exceptional service. 4. Building Trust: Language shapes perceptions. “Patient Care Coordinator” conveys warmth, empathy, and trust, fostering stronger connections with your patients. It removes any implication of distress or urgency associated with “Treatment Coordinator.” 5. Reflecting Values: If your practice values preventive care, patient relationships, and holistic health then the title of Patient Care Coordinator better reflects these core values, aligning with your mission to provide not just treatment but compassionate, comprehensive care. #patientcare #preventivehealth #holisticcare #dentalwellness #languagematters #wisdomwednesday #thejaynesprosonmethod #privatepractice #nhstoprivate

Pharmacy Director @ The Cleveland Clinic | Clinical Pharmacist delivering scientific education and action plans on medication gaps through insight generation, key leader engagement, and multi-disciplinary collaboration.
Patient Safety as a strategic priority- PIVOT. For medication safety, which involves a complex medication process sprinkled with Technology gaps, missed education opportunities and tracking an event through phases of care, multiple health care employees touch points, and missed steps due to interdependence on other process- it makes sense to have a medication expert lead and be part of the collaborative action efforts! While I respect other disciplines- I simply feel that a pharmacist and technician are best to address this- not a risk manager, not a nurse or a provider.

Providing the best quality care for patients means assuring that clinical notes provide the means to advocate for patient care with solid medical necessity statements. In a compliance audit, we look for the basics such as cadence, accuracy, and quality. But we go further: Does the record show the stage of change for the patient? Is the patient outwardly focused or recognizing their own issues? Is it aligned with the treatment plan with goals and objectives? Is it unique to the session or is it copied and paste from a prior encounter? Join us in revolutionizing care for patients and taking your facility to the next level of quality. Message or comment below to learn more about working with Atlantic Health Strategies to level up.

SMS texting works on virtually any type of mobile phone, and since it’s been around for so many years, even older patients feel comfortable texting. This "ancient" technology is, in fact, more preferred than email, portals, and even phone calls! #digitalhealth #patientexperience #patientengagement #healthequity
Patient Engagement: Phone Calls vs. Texting The optimal patient experience is a personal, face to face encounter with a physician or a nurse, with ample time for diagnosis and discussion. As we all know, much of communication is non-verbal, relying on sight and other senses. When the patient is physically away from the care provider, they need to settle for the next best thing. Is it a phone call or texting? If you automatically answered "phone call", consider a patient * having to wait on the line for 20 minutes only to realize they're being transferred to the "right" person * missing a call because they were busy with...life * not answering a call from an unknown number, that turns out to have been the clinic * finally speaking with a call center agent about their health issue, but not understanding what is being said due to speed, accent, or a poor cellular connection SMS texting can resolve many of these issues. True, in emergency situations, speaking with a real human is a must. But in managing care, short-form bi-directional texting may be just as effective or even more so than a phone call when factoring in convenience, wait time, and the multi-tasking nature of both patient and care provider. Examples: * scheduling * post acute-care checkin * medication adherence * Q&A about patient's health condition * administrative questions * encouragement and motivation * emotional support A big advantage of texting is the very high contact rate - over 97% of patients will open a text message. Moreover, 85% of patients prefer text to phone, email, or patient portal. (see https://lnkd.in/g2T9pSSj) #digitalhealth #patientexperience #patientengagement #SMS
