Mining for patient experience gold
Friday Feb 23, 2024
Friday Feb 23, 2024
It's been said that passion provides purpose, but data drives decisions. When it comes to patient experience data, both are true. Often, however, it is easy to focus on surface-level summaries while overlooking valuable insights or “golden nuggets.”
In this episode, Laurie Wilshusen, administrator, Quality Experience Research, Mayo Clinic expounds on 30 years of experience listening to patients through market research. While the state of the art has changed a lot throughout her career, she points to more contemporary tools such as natural language processing, which reveals the golden nuggets (what patients are saying about their experiences and needs) and efficiencies to organize it into actionable insights. Listen in as Ms. Wilshusen shares her thoughts how leaders can use and share data more effectively and empathically, and a glimpse into the future of measuring emotions, human connection, relationships, and trust.

A provider voice on patient experience
Friday Feb 02, 2024
Friday Feb 02, 2024
Research supports the connection between the patient experience, patient safety, and clinical outcomes. How do these health care factors intersect to support human connection and trust within clinical encounters? And why is that essential?
In this episode of the Key in to Quality podcast, Dawn Davis, M.D., department chair and consultant, Dermatology, Mayo Clinic, shares her thoughts on the patient journey: from first making an appointment to walking out of the hospital or clinic. According to Dr. Davis, the journey involves the patient, their family, caregivers, and providers, and requires a unique skillset to make personal connections, build trust, and help patients feel seen and heard. She says making patients the top priority in every interaction leads to better patient outcomes and increased satisfaction by patients and those caring for them.

Human Experiences in Healthcare Delivery
Tuesday Jan 23, 2024
Tuesday Jan 23, 2024
Experiences are more than just a series of transactions between patients and healthcare professionals. In many instances, care involves deeply personal and often vulnerable human interactions—not just services but moments of trust. Healthcare can profoundly impact people on a personal level. How can we build a deeply human experience for both patients and caregivers?
In this episode of the Key In To Quality podcast, Sheila Stevens, MSW, administrator, Experience Training, Education & Coaching, Mayo Clinic, shares her team’s model for exceptional human-centered care experiences and how to train staff to deliver them.

The response to the global pandemic was a stressful and challenging time for healthcare organizations. It required resources to be focused on caring for those impacted and distracted from the ability to focus on Quality advancement and improvement. Today, quality leaders are expressing a desire and need to get “back to the basics” to refocus on improving quality outcomes.

Improving Safety Culture and Solving Problems Through Daily Huddles
Monday Dec 04, 2023
Monday Dec 04, 2023
Host: Timothy Morgenthaler, MD @DrTimMorg
Guest: Jennifer Cowart, M.D., Patient Safety Officer and Consultant/Hospitalist, Hospital Internal Medicine, Mayo Clinic Florida https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-cowart-b0860494
Hospitals commonly use huddles to create staff alignment on a wide range of operational, clinical, and other topics and functions. However, not all huddles deliver the desired effect of lasting impact and full staff engagement. Experts agree that one fundamental requirement of creating a safety culture is having a preoccupation with safety built into every workday.
In this episode, Dr. Cowart shares her experience with building a culture of safety through deliberate, strategic, and persistent hard work. She has dedicated much of her career to improving safety culture at Mayo Clinic and other institutions. Dr. Cowart provides useful insights on and practical recommendations for implementing daily huddles that foster trusting relationships, build leadership skills, and engage team members in creating safety culture.

Guest: Subashnie Devkaran, Ph.D., Chair, Quality, Mayo Clinic
Hospitals can succeed or fail based on their patient safety reputation and records. Is it enough to claim being a “safe hospital” based on declining patient safety incidents or the goal of “zero harm?” How do you know your if hospital is truly a safe place for patients and staff?
Join us for the conversation with Subashnie Devkaran, Ph.D., Enterprise Chair, Quality, Mayo Clinic. In the discussion, Dr. Devkaran shares her thoughts about moving towards "Safety-II" concepts and the paradigm shift from achieving zero harm to being a high-reliability organization. She also discusses how artificial intelligence will be part of advancing health care quality and safety in meaningful ways for patients and staff.
