Patient Experience is no longer just a clinical initiative.

Not only is it the right thing to do, It will increase patient satisfaction and patient loyalty

Speak to value – patient perception(s)

In talking with Chris from Bridgefront…

How many of you have looked for a new vendor because of poor service?.... As competition increases it’s becoming vital to gain patient loyalty.

Perception is reality Survey research about how billing effects patient perception (how they perceive quality) NEWSFLASH: The current perception of healthcare billing is not positive. The media has done us no favors.

What does that mean to your revenues What does that mean to your revenues? Are these your high dollar services?

Patient may not be able to distinguish good healthcare from great healthcare…but they understand customer service. They’re familiar with the types of interactions taking place in the revenue cycle.

They have expectations for the technology and touch point interactions… They’re not measuring you against other health systems They’re measuring you against other industries

Banking: I get an alert any time my account status changes. eCommerce: Let’s just say it’s way too easy to spend money. They’ve perfected the user experience online.
