This document discusses improving patient experience in healthcare. It provides a framework called the "6 E's" to transform patient experience: Experiences, Emotions, Engagement, Execution, Excellence, and Evolution. The 6 E's framework involves analyzing the patient journey, capturing feedback through multiple channels, understanding patient emotions, measuring staff communication/compassion, customizing solutions for different wards/patients, evolving patient engagement through feedback from patients to patients, and real-time transparency of patient feedback to frontline staff. The goal is to improve patient satisfaction, care quality, and health outcomes through a patient-centered approach.
What is patient engagement? How do we create it? This talk proposes that focusing on human qualities and applying user experience design processes can help health information technology professionals with this key goal.
The keynote address was delivered at the NYSAVSA Annual Conference on June 7, 2012 in Geneva, NY. The purpose of the address was 3-fold: (1) Outline what patient- and family-centered care is, its core components, and benefits; (2)Highlight some best practice volunteer programs aligned with the PFCC philosophy; (3) Provide conference participants with an assessment grid to evaluate their volunteer programming based on two PFCC standards and walk away from the presentation with concrete strategic next steps to enhance and strengthen their volunteer programming based on the PFCC model and philosophy.

Patient Experience Defined. Patient experience encompasses the range of interactions that patients have with the health care system, including their care from health plans, and from doctors, nurses, and staff in hospitals, physician practices, and other health care facilities.
The presentation describes in brief the patients need, expectations and how to develop the patient care and feedback system to obtain maximum patient satisfaction.
Definition: Patient-Centered Care
Definition Patient-centered care (patient centred care): “Is a model in which providers partner with families to identify and satisfy the full range of patient needs and preferences.”
To expand this definition, patient-centered care is dependent on the involvement of the staff and care team as well.
“To succeed, a patient-centered approach must also address the staff experience as staff’s ability and inclination to effectively care for patients is unquestionably compromised if they do not feel care for themselves" (Picker Institute).
Researchers from Harvard Medical School, on behalf of Picker Institute and The Commonwealth Fund, defined seven primary dimensions of patient-centered care model.
These factors are identified as:
Respect for patients’ values, preferences and expressed needs
Coordination and integration of care
Information, communication and education
Physical comfort
Emotional support and alleviation of fear and anxiety
Involvement of family and friends
Transition and continuity
Dr. Elizabeth Paulk gives an excellent review of palliative care topics including end of life discussions, hospice, pain management, and family counseling.
Patient Satisfaction deals with how patients evaluate the quality of their healthcare experience. It is mainly assessed by conducting Patient Satisfaction Surveys using Healthcare Survey Software to determine the high quality of care, in addition to numerous other dimensions of quality, such as relevance to need, effectiveness, and efficiency.

Patient’s experience, improve the quality health3zsaddique
Putting patients first requires more than world-class clinical care – it requires care that addresses every aspect of a patient’s encounter with Hospital, including the patient’s physical comfort, as well as their educational, emotional, and spiritual needs. A team of professionals should serves as an advisory resource for critical initiatives across the Hospital health system. In addition, it should provide resources and data analytics; identify, support, and publish sustainable best practices; and collaborate with a variety of departments to ensure the consistent delivery of patient-centered care.
The Surgical Initiative concluded on March 31, 2014; the first system Hoshin to “graduate” to everyday work. Join us for an interactive discussion of the lessons learned over four years of transformational change.
The AHSN and Centre for Implementation Science is working as the independent evaluator for the Happy, Healthy, at Home Vanguard programme in North East Hampshire and Farnham.
This was the second symposium of the independent evaluation and focused on the Farnham Locality. The event included presentations from the Farnham Integrated Care Team and the Farnham Referral Management Service, as well as a series of ‘Evaluation Stations’ where delegates spent time with teams from Farnham, North East Hampshire and Farnham CCG and NHS England.
The event was attended by a wide-range of people who are interested in seeing how the vanguard programme is making changes to the local health system in North East Hampshire and Farnham and who are interested in evaluation approaches. These are the collected slides from the day.
It’s no secret the U.S. health care system needs to change. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) introduced
a focus on new health care payment models, which placed clear economic incentives on providers
while also striving for better outcomes. Today, we see an emphasis on preventing hospital
readmissions, reducing emergency room visits and avoiding unnecessary health care utilization
while enhancing quality and the patient experience.
As a result, health care stakeholders are rethinking the way care is delivered, how data is used and
how people collaborate and communicate in more preventive, proactive ways. This means moving
from episodic, fee-for-service, disease treatment models toward value-based care delivery to
improve outcomes, better utilize resources and expand access to care. Improved population health
has become the Holy Grail of U.S. health care, with many early experiments and some promising
successes. We take a look at Banner Health, a pioneer in transforming their health delivery systems with Robert Groves, MD, Vice President, Health Management, Banner Health.
Patient Experience Roundtable Sydney 2018 Leading Change & Transformation in ...Dr Avnesh Ratnanesan (Avi)
Energesse and The Beryl Institute's Patient Experience Roundtable brought together executive senior patient experience champions from around Australia to brainstorm and collaborate on the most important issues affecting organisations in patient experience.
Don Berwick’s ‘Triple Aims of Healthcare’ emphasises the pursuit of improved patient experience as top priority for healthcare systems. However, leaders are challenged with having a clear ‘process’ for improving patient experience. Data collection is often fragmented, person-dependent, inconsistently applied and not reported in real-time. Results take 3 to 18 months before being communicated back to the wards, resulting in a lack of accountability, transparency and meaningful change.
Results obtained in the NSW Bureau of Health Information surveys led Western Sydney Local Health District to improve its strategy around measurement of patient experience. Facilitating the collection of timely and granular feedback was needed. Implementation of a new patient survey system (MES Experience) in August 2016 provided a combination of real-time data collection and the unique 6E Framework (experience, emotions, engagement, execution, excellence and evolution) which is now guiding and driving quality improvements and meaningful change for consumers.

Energesse and Palladium Executive Breakfast Series.
The healthcare ecosystem is becoming increasingly complex and consumer/patient needs and expectations are escalating. The drive to create a more sustainable healthcare system means that industry players are forced to deliver new models of care whilst developing more sustainable business models under ever more stringent budgetary conditions. As cost cutting and reengineering efforts reach diminishing returns, it has become obvious that the solution to this complex set of issues is to reframe the problem, working backwards from patients and health consumers to build models that deliver compelling experiences to consumers/patients and superior societal health outcomes.
Before we change actions or activities within the healthcare, the first point is to understand how staff and consumers think about the system we are in now.
This presentation will focus on how outcomes and major issues in the National Health Services (NHS UK) are measured using patient and staff experiences. It will also describe how latest technologies are being utilized to measure success in these areas.
Explore our infographic on 'Essential Metrics for Palliative Care Management' which highlights key performance indicators crucial for enhancing the quality and efficiency of palliative care services.
This visual guide breaks down important metrics across four categories: Patient-Centered Metrics, Care Efficiency Metrics, Quality of Life Metrics, and Staff Metrics. Each section is designed to help healthcare professionals monitor and improve care delivery for patients facing serious illnesses. Understand how to implement these metrics in your palliative care practices for better outcomes and higher satisfaction levels.

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

Over the last 4 years, I’ve been the CEO of Energesse, which is a specialist firm that focuses on improving patient experience and customer experience in the health and care sector. We are a team of 15 people now and we work with clients and partners in the US, UK, Australia and Asia. Largely with work health insurers, hospitals, service providers with technology solutions, research and surveys, consultancy and leadership coaching.
I want to talk about Excellence, and excellence can come in the most unlikely of scenarios. And this one, is a very personal scenario, so please bear with me because I feel this lesson is an important one to share.
My father passed away and was admitted as an emergency to a private hospital.
Discuss Experience
Emotions
Energy
Even though we got a bill shock, we were able to rationalise the cost, mainly because we were at peace and because of the care and compassion shown by the nurse, our customer experience was superior and that jusitfied the premium.
So the lesson here is that even in the most difficult of situations, a period of greiving immediately followed by a big financial shock, the experience was a good one.
I love it when Gartner recognises something is important.
Customer experience is a very individual phenomena, what one person may find good in a service, another person may find unacceptable.
Because consumers today want more than the just the drug. They want to experience health and just the drug can provide – they want information that they can understand, in a way that is easy for them in a place that is accessible to them. And most importantly, they want to know that you really care. Yet the pharmaceutical industry is largely still stuck producing and delivering medicines in the way they have always done for decades. And change has been an incredibly slow process.
Feedback from last 4 years of customer research, consulting and improving customer experience - we’ve developed the 6 E Framework, which we are unveiling for the first time.
Feedback from the executives that we’ve worked with, largely said “don’t just tell me what to do, tell me how to do it”
This framework is part of a book that is in development and we are in talks with a publisher and aim to release later this year.
So why is this model different to everything else out there? Well, I strongly believe that this is a more authentic and sustainable model for success in managing customers and along the way I’ll show you data on that.
Its also a versatile model that can be used in the context of businesses and their customers, as well as healthcare organisations and patients – the model applies equally well.
Very often the focus in on the silo, on a small part of the journey, but to get the best improvement, map the whole journey.
Pros and Cons of Internal vs External survey channels – Pros and Cons (what do you mean by internal and external survey channels?)
The reality of the 21st century is that customers are not just interested in the services that you are delivering, the interaction is more about the emotions they are feeling.
How do we do that with all the ‘noise’ in the digital world
