Customer Overview
High Volume Orthopaedic Inpatient Unit
Pittsburgh, PA
- Standardized patient and employee satisfaction surveys provided little insight how to distinguish patient experience from other high-performing Centers of Excellence.
- Especially during COVID-19, administrators desired to focus on high-impact changes to gather, listen to, address patient and care team fears and ever-changing protocols.
- Asking the right questions to engage employees in improvement and scaling best practices was critical. Brief, action-oriented, and easily-deployable digital surveys enabled all employees to participate, no matter their shift or location.
Learn how one surgical unit improved employee engagement by over 21% in just 3 months and used the "What Matters" framework to understand and improve patient experience scores. Reduce clinician and staff burnout through action-oriented surveying real-time data reporting. Flip the conversation --use real data and end-user insights to understand your true current state and value-driven opportunities to improve.

DO
