Healthcare is Undergoing a Seismic Shift Environment is becoming increasingly competitive HCAHPS Rising health consumer orientation Expanded choice Expanded information Implication: Healthcare systems must undergo fundamental change in ways they serve patients Simply “satisfying” patients will no longer be enough Change in the culture and delivery systems oriented to viewing patients as consumers who are both “patients” (treated) and “customers” (served) is mandatory Adapting healthcare service models to be more customer oriented (i.e.,, retail, hospitality) Measurement only no longer adequate System of change management driving learning to front-line
Satisfaction Is Not Enough | Three Kinds of “Satisfaction” “1-4” “5” “5” RationallySatisfied EmotionallySatisfied Dissatisfied Not at all satisfied Extremely satisfied 1 2 3 4 5 Business performance among “rationally satisfied” is no better than among “dissatisfied”. Only “emotional satisfaction” delivers superior results
Building Stronger Patient/Customer Relationships What Is the Solution? The Right Measures Systems have been aiming at the wrong target: “satisfied patients defect.” They’ve had an incomplete picture of the patient/customer relationship: “rational + emotional.” The Right Interventions Wherever, however, and whenever customers are “touched.”
Best Practice Human Capital Strategies are Shifting to the Top … CEO’s are moving human capital management to the top of the agenda, recognizing that it is an indispensable element of organization success… For healthcare to survive and prosper in the wake of the worst workplace shortage in years, focused attention needs to be placed on the attraction, development, and retention of employees. ―The Road to Recovery, AON Healthcare Study

Understanding Customer Engagement Customers are not strictly rational – healthy, engaged customer relationships have a significant emotional dimension which must be measured and managed. “When it comes to customers, feelings are facts.” -Simon Cooper President & COO, Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company LLC. Simply satisfying customers on a rational basis is not enough to drive financial performance.
Customer Engagement What is Customer Engagement? • Customer Engagement describes the health of the relationship between a customer and a brand…the rational and the emotional. • Great brands and great customer relationships are underpinned by emotion. • Has a stronger relationship than satisfaction to performance outcomes • Physicians (i.e., referrals, share of procedures, retention) • Patients (i.e., return, use of other facilities such as Wellness Center & Spa)
