Discover in this four video HXA Instructional series the key components in how patient perceptions are shaped in the clinical practice environment. Learn ways to create and set patient expectations that build confidence for them and your staff, physicians, and providers. Make a commitment to look deeper, and further into how the patients in your practice view their experience at each touch point in their care. Gain strategies and resources to elevate your patient experience, evaluate your total practice experience, re-evaluate wait times, and not just in the office, and learn the value of patient rounding.
In the clinical practice setting, patients are looking for how well they are cared for. Will they evaluate their experience through the lens of their own expectations, or through informed expectations that we guide and set for them? We can likely predict that patients are making their judgements in the areas of scheduling, the welcome or check-in, their time with the physician or provider, and at check out. The good news is that it is within our power to grow, to understand, and to take action to improve our PX performance.
The power of perception cannot be understated when it comes to patient care. As a practice we know our environment and why we do things the way we do. Our patients often have a different set of expectations than what is practical or even possible. We’re excited to partner with you in this course as we dive into key steps, processes, and strategies you can employ immediately that will create a unified practice approach to caring for patients.

Managing Conflict Resolution
At the heart of healthy teamwork is the recognition that when a conflict occurs, those in positions of influence feel safe and supported to take swift action to resolve the issue and build trusting relationships among the team in the process.

We begin by building assessing your current conflict challenge and communication competencies to Acknowledge Past, Sense Present and Realize Future, and line up the practice of achieving greater teamwork.
Resiliency and Burnout
Engagement and purpose is essential to excellent care delivery. We’ve worked with many organizations to build healthy cultures at the unit, department and organizational levels. We bring together best practices from a wide array of experience working across teams and health systems to deliver pragmatic approaches you can implement to make immediate changes.
We have found success in creating environments of engagement, joy, and positivity that in turn yield cultures of excellence. This does not mean organizations do not experience challenges, set backs, and devastation. These attributes do, however, set a standard for growth and achievement that stretches us to have greater expectations for what is possible and deserved by our workforce in service to our patients.
