Journal of Patient Experience’s Post

💡 How can healthcare organizations foster safer, more positive patient interactions? In today’s healthcare landscape -- where incidents of workplace violence are on the rise -- new approaches to patient interactions are crucial. This latest study in The Journal of Patient Experience explores how empathy and self-awareness, paired with traditional de-escalation techniques, can transform patient experiences in ambulatory clinics. This tailored training, which includes empathy-focused and self-reflective content, showed promising results in decreasing patient complaints and improving satisfaction. Reference: Phipps K.

Thank you, Journal of Patient Experience, for highlighting this essential study! As incidents of workplace violence increase, adopting approaches that prioritize empathy, and self-awareness can make a profound difference in patient care and staff safety. It’s inspiring to see evidence that these strategies, combined with de-escalation training, can lead to fewer complaints and higher patient satisfaction. This focus on compassionate, reflective care is so needed in today’s healthcare environment. #PatientExperience #HealthcareSafety #EmpathyInHealthcare #DeEscalation #HealthcareInnovation
