Doctors, nurses, and other caregivers provide the most intimate of services: the health and healing of our bodies, minds, and spirits. When one human being cares for another, it should call forth our best efforts and bring with it remarkable job satisfaction. Yet we find that medical professionals today are stressed, overburdened and often discouraged, with job-satisfaction rates at an all-time low.

In The Patient Experience, Orlando Jay Perez, VP Institutional Ministries, taps into new research and powerful stories from patients and caregivers to reveal the purpose and promise of modern medical care. Perez keeps his focus on the balance between consistently

superior clinical performance and reliably purposeful interactions that bring meaning

and healing to patient and caregiver alike. In this book you will learn:

• The 3 acts of The Patient Experience

• The one driving principle behind raising patient satisfaction

• How to create moments of heartfelt, intentional hope communicated by word or deed
