Why soft skills are important ?
Soft skills affect everyone (i.e., patients, team members, and
interdisciplinary colleagues).
Soft skills often influence how patients rate their overall
experience in a healthcare visit.
The patient’s perspective or satisfaction rating is often
captured by using surveys after the patient visit with
questions such as:
Were you treated with respect and dignity?
Were all procedures explained to you in a way that you
could clearly understand?
How well did the staff work together?
