Wise words from @JamesClear
“The longer you're a teacher, the less you remember what it is like to be a student.
The longer you're a doctor, the less you remember what it is like to be a patient…
A new perspective can improve your old methods."

With patients owing more out of their own
pockets, they have started to expect more
from their providers. They are drawing on
their experiences in other industries to set
those expectations.

[Total Orbit @TotalOrbit]

If patient satisfaction strategies are not
a high priority for today’s healthcare
organizations, they probably should be. In
fact, research shows that the inability to
meet evolving patient needs puts providers
at risk of losing customers, revenue, and
reputations

Think back to the last time a really wonderful doctor or nurse was able to explain something to you, or someone you love, in a way that made perfect sense. What made the experience so much better?

“Sharing” information and feeling it’s “mission accomplished” is about the same as a university who’s idea of “education” is dropping off a load of textbooks and calling it a day.

Overheard from a surgeon who really gets it: “It’s awfully easy to forget that it’s our 1000th time, but it’s their first.”
