Optimize Diagnostic Experience
The diagnostic experience matters to patients and care providers
The diagnostic experience is generally described as the sum of interactions the patient experiences, while on the diagnostic pathway. It is an inherent element of a patient’s interaction with a care provider. Thus, a positive patient experience is increasingly being recognized by healthcare providers, not only as a desirable feature for maintaining customer satisfaction, but also, as an elemental business priority.
- By acknowledging and adapting to the patients’ needs during their diagnostic journey, a healthcare system can expect to prevail in a world in which the patient is gradually shifting towards a more consumer-oriented mindset when interacting with a medical environment.
- Focusing on the necessary improvements can result in clinical, operational, and financial benefits for healthcare providers.
- According to the research conducted by Siemens Healthineers and The Beryl Institute, almost two thirds believe that their own diagnostic experience would influence their future choice of a healthcare organization or system.1
