patient-or customer -
experiences has become a top strategic priority for many healthcare institutions and
service-based organizations that operate in
a vast sea of sameness.
While this need is broadly recognized with
plenty of nodding heads in senior leadership meetings, it's also true that securing
necessary resources to achieve it is often an
uphill battle. It's quite common to run into
savvy, results-minded leaders such as chief
financial officers, facilities managers, or
chief clinicians who challenge the financial
soundness of investing in experience design.
Such concerns are important. After all,
the customer experience is just one of many
competing business priorities. Every dollar
invested in improving the current customer experience is a dollar taken away from
other important areas, such as adding new
technologies in clinical treatment or funding for research. It's hard to argue against
this reality.
Today, healthcare systems evaluate customer insights using data sources such as patient satisfaction scores, market surveys on
brand awareness, and complaints or compliments filed with a patient relations department. While these methods are certainly
useful for identifying where to focus, they
don't truly indicate (1) how experience is impacting business or (2) how to generate holistic solutions that will improve experience.
Without results tied to tangible business
goals, the investment needed to enhance
the customer experience will inevitably
make its way down the priority list. But
evidence shows that, when properly implemented, a differentiated customer experience can have a tremendous pay-off and
also mitigate business risks.
