PRE-CONFERENCE SESSION | 9am–12pm, March 28, Boston Children’s Hospital | Unlocking New Value through Healthcare Experience Mapping
The consumerization of healthcare is in full swing with consumers rapidly emerging as the fastest growing payer in the industry. They are many. And they are powerful. But they are also confused and frustrated, creating one of the major issues in healthcare today. Organizations that skillfully create and consistently deliver the whole experience for a procedure, service or care journey can reap huge rewards including enhanced patient satisfaction, increased revenue and improved levels of staff retention.
Jonathan Dalton, IDSA, and Trent Kahute, IDSA, of THRIVE will lead a workshop to give healthcare and design professionals responsible for the delivery of the overall patient experience—the practical tools and methods needed to identify unmet needs, frame opportunities for new value creation and ultimately deliver compelling experiences for patients and other care givers.
Workshop Format: This interactive workshop introduces THRIVE’s system of experience mapping for healthcare services and medical procedures. Participants will be introduced to the tools and analytical techniques of contextual inquiry, experience mapping, and opportunity identification. They will then apply them to a simulated birth at Boston Children’s simulation lab, observing the stages of Active Labor, Transition Labor, Pushing, Birth, Delivery of the Placenta and early Recovery. The final activity will be analyzing the overall experience as a journey from a single or multi-stakeholder perspective, uncovering pain points, needs, and moments of truth, and identifying opportunities, interventions and strategies for value creation.
