The relevance and impact of the patient diagnostic experience continue to gain attention from healthcare leaders. The latest research depicts that 89% of survey participants considered the time medical personnel spent actively listening��and addressing patient expectations as highly influential��on their��choice of healthcare provider.¹��

This led to the question: What defines a patient diagnostic experience? Which essential parts do they find most important to them personally? In short - what makes for an optimized diagnostic experience in the eye of the patient?

To address these questions, we’ve collaborated with��The Beryl Institute, a global community of practice dedicated to improving the patient experience through collaboration and shared knowledge. The Beryl Institute defines the patient experience as the sum of all interactions shaped by an organization’s culture that influence patient perceptions��across the continuum of care.

This thought leadership paper including its introduction by Jason A. Wolf., Ph.D., CPXP, President & CEO of The Beryl Institute, provides substantiated insights into what matters to patients on their diagnostic pathway and what truly makes an optimized experience. Key take-away messages include actionable steps to improve patient-staff interaction, work and adapt towards pleasant and efficient processes, and provide patient-friendly technology.
