Patient Experience Defined: 
To develop the Institute's definition of patient experience , we formed a work group of patient experience leaders from a cross-section of healthcare organizations. The group shared perspectives, insights and backgrounds on what patient experience means to them and collaboratively created this definition. We believe it provides a terrific starting point for the conversation around this important issue. Critical to the understanding and application of this definition is a broader explanation of its key elements: Interactions The orchestrated touch-points of people, processes, policies, communications, actions, and environment Culture The vision, values, people (at all levels and in all parts of the organization) and community Perceptions What is recognized, understood and remembered by patients and support people. Perceptions vary based on individual experiences such as beliefs, values, cultural background, etc. Continuum of Care Before, during and after the delivery of care The History of Patient ExperienceWendy Leebov, Partner at Language of Caring, discusses the history of patient experience and its growth in the healthcare industry.
