Understanding and Using Health Experiences: Improving Patient Care

The patient experience is a critical factor in healthcare outcomes. Studies have shown that patients who have positive experiences are more likely to adhere to treatment plans, experience better health outcomes, and be satisfied with their care. Conversely, patients who have negative experiences are more likely to experience adverse events, have lower quality of life, and be dissatisfied with their care.

Despite the importance of the patient experience, it is often overlooked or undervalued in healthcare settings. This is due in part to the fact that the patient experience is complex and difficult to measure. However, there is a growing body of research that is helping to shed light on the patient experience and its impact on healthcare outcomes.
