  • Conference Overview

    What patients say in their own words is increasingly being used for many purposes and getting results above and beyond simple patient survey ratings. Patient comments obtained through various sources (social media, open-ended survey questions, online rating sites, patient complaints, advisory councils, storytelling, etc.) add another dimension to improvement efforts in healthcare. This conference will feature research and national best practices about the wide variety of ways that the patients’ own words are being collected and used – and how these efforts can all be linked together in powerful ways.

    • Public Reporting and the Transparency Movement – use of patient comments on websites to help consumers make decisions, improve care and attract market share.
    • Using Patient Comments to Improve Care – AHRQ supported work to elicit patient narratives
    • Complaint Management to improve patient experience and reduce legal risk
    • Sorting Through Things – Artificial intelligence and natural language processing comes to analysis of patient comments
    • Improving Care Delivery – through experience-based co-design (EBCD)
