Boosting Patient Experience and Profitability Through Inclusive Communication Briefing

Studies show that increased patient engagement can lead to improved health outcomes and better patient experiences can lead to reduced healthcare costs. Join us for an engaging online briefing addressing the crucial topic of health equity and its impact on the patient experience.

Inclusive communications is critical given shifting healthcare workforce dynamics. In the US, nearly 30% of physicians are international medical graduates for whom English is a second language. Together with the growing number of international nurses helping to address the US nursing shortage, linguistic challenges pose barriers for delivery of care, patient and provider satisfaction, and profitability.

Expert linguist Judy Ravin and Chief Revenue Officer and Certified Diversity Executive Shelley Willingham will lead a session that equips participants with strategies to improve the patient experience through culturally competent communication that ultimately reduce healthcare costs and increase reimbursements. Did you know that a 5-point increase in patient satisfaction scores can translate to a 1% increase in hospital revenue?

From addressing communication biases to improving delivery of care, this event aims to empower attendees with actionable insights that enhance patient and financial outcomes.

In this session, you'll discover:

Judy and Shelley will share their work with organizations like the Mayo Clinic, Kaiser Permanente, Penn State Health, Baylor Scott & White Health, Michigan Medicine, and Emory University Health to give you strategies to improve the patient experience that can improve your bottom-line.

If you are a healthcare leader committed to increasing patient and provider satisfaction, raising your organization’s bottom line, and creating equitable care for all, this event is for you. Be part of this important conversation and help drive positive change. Register now to secure your spot!
