Re-Evaluating Patient Journeys for Greater Outcomes and Truly Integrated Healthcare
Tuesday, 30 May 2023 | 10:30 AM – 4:30 PM AEST | Online
Training Overview
Investigating personas, journey maps and service blueprints to inform better decisions
The Australian healthcare system is under increasing strain. With worker shortages, the present state of medicare and lingering effects of the pandemic, it will come as no surprise that patient experience has taken hit. Conversely, the current situation has revealed significant opportunities for digital and telehealth to alleviate the strain and uplift patient outcomes.
The Re-Evaluating Patient Journeys for Greater Outcomes and Truly Integrated Healthcare has been developed to give patient experience specialists the opportunity navigate the system through a patient’s perspective.
In this interactive session you will be given the tools and frameworks to uncover personas and rethink end-to-end patient journeys with the view to redesign and improve processes for better health outcomes.
The exercise of creating these artefacts will enable you to look past the complex systems and “noise”; identify gaps and broken processes and provide you with powerful insights to effect positive change.
