Patient Experience Designer
The patient experience can be described as the sum of all experiences, from initial contact to ongoing care, for any patient navigating the healthcare system.
This includes every interaction, touchpoint and outcome for the patient – and to this every healthcare professional contributes along the way. The patient experience is also affected by the patient’s expectations, feelings and ultimate level of satisfaction.
