What Makes Us Different, Makes Us Much Better!

The Four Key Pillars
of disruptive change.
Hyper-consumerism
Understanding the necessity of moving beyond outdated patient satisfaction surveys and traditional patient experience strategies is crucial. At a time of hyper-consumerism, significantly improving the patient experience demands innovative approaches that truly address the evolving needs and expectations of patients.
Emerging Technologies
Artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies are reshaping healthcare. This pillar explores how these advancements provide significant new value across four critical value streams including: Experiential Value, Anticipatory Value, Clinical Value, and Enterprise Value. Attendees will learn how to harness these technologies to Drive Efficiency, Enhance Patient Care, and Support Organizational Growth.
Future-Ready Strategies
Legacy healthcare organizations risk being left behind due to incomplete and outdated strategies. In a time of rapid and chaotic change, the best organizations leverage enterprise innovation, human experience design, future casting, and many other new practices and technologies. This pillar will equip attendees with the knowledge to develop robust, future-ready strategies ensuring their organizations’ resilience and success.
Workforce and Staffing
The entire healthcare ecosystem faces challenges related to workforce changes and staffing shortages. Leading organizations address these challenges by leveraging Human Experience Innovation (HXI) and strategies that build a culture of happiness. This approach aims to retain and inspire mission-critical providers and staff, fostering a supportive and productive work environment.
