The Resident Experience: Moving Beyond a Customer Service Mentality to a Resident-Centered Culture (Long-Term Care)
The Patient Experience: Moving Beyond a Customer Service Mentality to a Patient-Centered Culture (Hospitals)
- The resident / patient experience is all the buzz today and it’s easy to see why.  Hospitals and related health facilities all look the same to the consumer.  They expect high quality care.  They expect clinical competence.  So when facilities all start looking the same in their eyes how can they choose?  They choose in part through recommendations of friends and family who have experienced the care.  And the differentiator always becomes the service delivered.  But we are not focusing on customer service as a program that is rolled out and soon forgotten or using the occasional mystery shopper.  That is a one and done mentality.  Organizations that are successful have an experience culture that revolves around the customer/resident/patient.  In this highly interactive program we will look at how a customer culture is different than customer service.  You will learn that the resident/patient experience starts with the employee experience and how making employees crusaders for your organization will dramatically affect the care and service they provide.  You will learn how understanding customer expectations and mapping the experience will start to close the gap between the expectation and what is delivered.  And then we will tie it back to show how word of mouth can be leveraged. The most effective marketing comes from people who answer yes to the question – will you recommend us to others?  In this session you will find out how to get to YES.

Presented by the author of the most read feature in Health Leaders in 2007 entitled The Chief Experience, Mr. Cirillo’s article was used as the basis to form a chief experience officer position and an office of patient experience at The Cleveland Clinic.

Turning Customers into CrusadersWhen employees and customers connect emotionally with your organization, you have more than just employees and customers. You have crusaders for your brand, an army of marketers spreading positive word of mouth (WOM) to anyone who will listen.  Leverage WOM to build long term relationships and tipping points so others will choose your facility.  For an employee centric version of this, we have Turning Employees into Crusaders.

The Meaning of Life! - A keynote combining stories, song and audience participation that will have attendees laughing, crying, and reflecting on what is really important in life.  People leave feeling great and associate that great feeling with the sponsoring organization and the effects are long lasting.  See video clips.

Turning Sources into Sales – In this interactive presentation, we connect marketing and sales, data collection to actionable strategies and show how the way you use information can help increase sales.  Uncover new audiences for your sales efforts and learn how to get the most out of your existing sources as well.

Essentials of Marketing - Traditional radio, television and print advertising are on the rise by healthcare marketers. Yet, this is a time when the public is tuning these mediums out and turning on to emerging media to receive information. There has never been a more important time to remind ourselves that “marketing is not advertising.” Find out what true marketing is and how healthcare marketing is different than other marketing. Learn how to build sound marketing plans, tied to organizational goals, segmented for success and set up for ROI measurement.

You the BrandLet’s face it.  Coming to a conference is all about learning tips and techniques for doing your job better.  But when was the last time you took time for you?  At this program you will.  We will look at you the brand.  Yes, people are brands.  Maybe not the way The Donald or Martha are (no last names needed).  Each of us has a brand personality, yet we seldom take the time to market ourselves.  This session is designed to show you how to market “YOU”!  The lessons learned will not just benefit attendees but will provide a blueprint for helping your staff understand how their brand impacts the business and impacts their careers.
