Health care in The USA (history repeats itself)Being Td
Hospitals and health care providers are facing pressure to treat patients more like customers as the US health care system shifts towards a consumer model. Where patients were once expected to be passive recipients of care, they now want more involvement in decisions and better experiences related to factors like customer service, amenities, and price transparency. Providers must find ways to deliver high quality care while also meeting rising consumer expectations around service, communication, and value for their health care dollars. Changing reimbursement models are also driving providers to focus more on both clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction in order to be competitive and financially sustainable.

Health care in The USA (history repeats itself)Being Td
Hospitals and health care providers are facing pressure to treat patients more like customers as the US health care system shifts towards a consumer model. Where patients were once expected to be passive recipients of care, they now want more involvement in decisions and better experiences related to factors like customer service, amenities, and price transparency. Providers must find ways to deliver high quality care while also meeting rising consumer expectations around service, communication, and value for their health care dollars. Changing reimbursement models are also driving providers to focus more on both clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction in order to be competitive and financially sustainable.
