The "Nice" Effect: The 5 Behaviors That Wow Patients and Supercharge Patient Satisfaction Scores
Patients rate their level of satisfaction based largely on the quality of the face-to-face interactions they experience across their visit. Return visits, referrals, patient compliance, health literacy and even employee retention are all impacted by the degree to which patients believe they have experienced warmth, kindness, compassion, and empathy. Research suggests that patients go so far as to rate the skill of their doctor and rate the quality of the medical care they received based on how “nice” staff are to them. The quality of one-on-one interactions between patients and personnel is the single most influential factor in patient satisfaction. When patients experience authentic caring – the belief that everyone they encounter genuinely cares for and wants to help them – they experience exceptional care...and rate it as such.
In this funny, emotional, highly interactive session, Joe teaches participants 5 specific behaviors employees must use to impact patient's perceptions of caring, kindness, and service quality. When these perceptions are influenced, patients feel respected, heard, and cared for. By using the real-world patient experiences of participants, Joe creates buy-in and motivation for wowing patients not as a job requirement, but as a moral imperative.
