Creating a Positive Payment Experience
Laura Watkins, FACMPE, CPC  SVMIC Medical Practice Consultant

As healthcare trends away from patient satisfaction toward the patient experience, it is important for physicians, practice executives and staff to understand how this shift in ideology will affect their practice. At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to identify the components to patient engagement; recognize the need to transition from measuring patient satisfaction to patient experience; and understand the importance of patient experience to the practice’s financial wellbeing.
