Course Description

With the launch of the Primary Care First (PCF) payment model, there is an urgency to reflect on and evaluate where we, in clinical practices, stand in our delivery of excellent, “always” patient care experiences. In this 12-video lesson course you will be equipped to take the PCF patient experience survey through your patients' perspective, identify the 5 specific domains that will be reported and gain knowledge to improve where you find gaps.

The Primary Care First program rewards innovation and patient-centered care. The Patient Experience of Care Survey (PECS) is an essential and required component of the Primary Care First Program. Equipping your team to be successful with this new survey is essential. The Patient Experience of Care Survey affords patients the opportunity to provide feedback on the consistency of the quality of interactions with the provider and staff.  While we may have the best of intentions and work hard every day in the practice, sometimes our intentions are perceived differently by patients and their loved ones. In this HXA Instructional 12-video course you will learn strategies to engage staff, providers, and physicians in the PECS and learn key competencies that will improve patient experience perceptions. Discover how you can equip your practice and team to be successful in performing on the overall experience and domain specific aspects of care in the PECS survey.
