2. A lot of articles, blogs and posts suggesting that the term
âPatient Experienceâ is inherently bad because it is
derived from the term âCustomer Experienceâ.
Their focus is the word âCustomerâ which to them means
a sale is involved and that a Patient is not buying
anything, they get treated. These people need to look
broader into what the âCustomer Experienceâ really
means.
3. Companies and brands develop their
version of the Customer Experience. And
no matter what the company calls the
person a âcustomerâ, âguestâ, âshopperâ,
âconsumerâ or âmemberâ, their ultimate
goal is to make sure they are providing the
right products/service, at the right time, at
the right place in order for the customer to
decide to utilize their offerings.
They use appealing designs, proper
lighting, appropriate colors, attractive
offers, and more to send the right
messages to their target audience.
4. This is not very different than
what a health system conveys
to their community- that they
have the right
products/services, at your
time of need, at the right price
in order for their potential
patients to choose their health
system over another.
They use their facilities, staffs,
technologies, awards, etc. to
5. When most patients think of
price, they think of âDoes that
health system take my
insurance?â and âHow much do I
have to pay after insurance?â -
not $9 filler injections.
They want to make sure they
chose a system that fits what
they want out of their
healthcare- typically
6. That is not unlike a customer who chooses to purchase
from Neiman Marcus versus Sears, Target vs. Walmart, or
Kroger vs. Whole Foods. They have a group of ideals that
need to be met before they make a purchase decision,
whichever retailersâ offerings are most in tune with that
customerâs needs will get the purchase.
Choosing to go to the place that offers the best stuff at the
best locations at the best price is logical. Why wouldnât
every person want that with every facet of their life?
