AUSTRALIAN CHALLENGES WITH PX
1. Patient Surveys are paper-based or via telephone
2. Multiple disparate survey databases, tools, etc.
3. Insights uncoordinated, unmanageable and lack strategic intelligence
4. State survey results can take from 3 to 12 months – less actionable
5. Slow, cumbersome reports from Ward to Board
6. Minimal engagement from ethnic minorities
7. Internal staff disengaged in survey process – outsourced research
8. Pure Quantitative data shows where problem is occurring, not WHY – difficult
fixing the issues

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.

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.
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.
