Meaningful Apologies
Presented by Medbridge Team
Patients with better care experiences have better health outcomes. In addition, staff and clinics thrive when the patients they treat experience high degrees of satisfaction. Meaningful Apologies is part of a series of Patient Experience "Booster Shots" designed to provide health care workers with the tactical skills they need to navigate day-to day patient interactions, from the mundane (but still impactful) to the challenging. Why are these called "Booster Shots"? These courses are short and tactical and can be used to set baseline expectations for providing a positive patient experience, to reinforce and sustain learning with regular reminders, or to remediate pain points with targeted education.
