The podcast focuses on patient experience improvement, why it matters, and how to motivate your physicians and leaders to support it. Given that the research shows patient experience has become one of the top three priorities for hospital leaders, we think you’ll find this conversation with leaders from Mayo Clinic's Office of Experience interesting.

Failure to correctly perform high-level disinfection, or HLD, places patients at risk for exposure to and infection with pathogens, some of which are multi-drug resistant. It is challenging for perioperative personnel to keep up with the new evidence and guidelines aimed at improving safe practice. The Joint Commission also clearly highlights high-level disinfection as an area for improvement.
The question we aim to answer via this podcast is: how can we improve our disinfection practices to ensure patient safety? Information is also shared on how Mayo Clinic responds to this question and approaches the issue.
