The healthcare domain requires professionals to extend beyond the traditional boundaries of their respective roles. The spectrum of integrated collaboration involves all stakeholders: from caregivers to patients, technology and medical equipment providers, logistics, medical transportation, information systems, and regulatory bodies, among others. It is a collective and global commitment that transcends sectoral limitations. Patient experience is a social imperative that concerns us all, but also a reliable means to enhance performance and outcomes in the healthcare field.
Location : Auditorium – World Trade Center Barcelona
When it comes to innovation and value creation, a deep understanding of patient needs leads to innovations that are tailored to real expectations. Throughout the process, by gathering direct feedback, it becomes easier to identify shortcomings that need to be rectified: co-construction is one of the keys to innovation in healthcare, because it encourages professionals to look at everyday life from a new angle.
Location : Auditorium – World Trade Center Barcelona
To ensure acting appropriately, stakeholders must embrace the new values arising from society’s evolution. Navigating a world in perpetual change isn’t easy, and this is where the patient experience sets the course. Considering daily life in the healthcare field through the patient experience involves adapting the behaviors of all collaborators. In addition to ensuring doing things well, it will also be necessary to learn to do the right things, to make informed decisions in all circumstances.
Location : Auditorium – World Trade Center Barcelona
Patient experience must be assessed to measure its impacts. Considering this from the outset of initiatives allows us to determine if the set objectives will concretely improve patients’ experiences. Additionally, it’s crucial to incorporate result measurement indicators into institutional dashboards.
Location : Auditorium – World Trade Center Barcelona
