Improving the Patient Experience through the Health Care Physical Environment

The patient experience is more important today than ever before, with payments tied to patient satisfaction surveys and scores publicly reported. This webinar explains the holistic people-process-place approach to satisfaction and shows health care leaders how to use the health care physical environment—an often overlooked resource—to improve the patient experience.
