Show Notes

Our case study is set at a medium size regional hospital, working to develop strong credentials from a variety of agencies like Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). Over time hospital leadership had sought to improve patient experience scores and had tried a number of efforts, typically in specific, siloed operational departments. Few of these efforts brought significant improvement, which, over time, was becoming a challenge for the organization.
