When we talk about the shift to value-based care, we talk a lot about concepts like delegated risk, upside and downside bonuses and incentives, and of course, data. On the quality side, we default to using standard patient satisfaction scores and tools as benchmarks for where the conversation starts and ends.

In this episode, we take a deeper dive into what quality and a relationship with a patient or consumer might mean. How can we move beyond one CAHPS survey to think about a more holistic experience instead of just “teaching to the test”? How can we remove barriers or burdens for our staff to give them more time to develop deep and meaningful relationships with those we serve? What does it mean to think critically and intentionally about the consumer experience in healthcare, as opposed to simply what a CMS survey mandates?
