The World Health Care Congress 2nd Annual Leadership Summit on Redesigning the Patient Experience convenes industry executives, advocates and thought leaders to address the expanding patient-centered care movement within the healthcare industry. The pressure for provider organizations to be "best in class" has been heightened by the public reporting of HCAHPS data, and thus the push to redefine the patient and family experience of care has taken center stage. Our Nation's experience economy has left providers struggling to preserve their market share, retain qualified staff, improve patient safety and remain financially solvent. At this Summit, delegates gain insight into and an understanding of the must-have strategies to transform their organization into a patient and family-centered care environment.
