The Patient Journey & Innovation

We often look to other industries for clues to improve our own practices. This is why we invited tourism expert Doug Lansky to provide some insight into customer service and how it can positively affect the patient experience. There’s perhaps no better source than the world’s top hotels and restaurants and tours when it comes to highlighting great customer service. Doug will not only explain how aspects of these services can be directly adopted by the healthcare industry, but that it can actually be done on a minimal budget and positively impact patients’ health by reducing stress at key points along the patient journey.
