Healthcare is rapidly embracing the importance of the patient experience. Value Based Purchasing (VBP) has shifted the mindset from what was once “fluff” to an important strategic objective. Reimbursement is at stake and patient satisfaction scores are posted online for public scrutiny making it impossible to explain away the voice of the consumer.

Marketing professionals have long been guardians of the brand in strategy and execution, but are often frustrated when they learn that the brand promise is broken during actual patient encounters. A rude employee or a series of cumbersome processes can leave patients with negative associations with the brand. Many healthcare marketers find themselves at odds with operations over the customer experience.

During this four-part online course, thought leader Kristin Baird will describe the current state of the patient experience and share steps MarCom professionals can take to lead this emerging strategy.
