What is Patient Experience?
Your patient experience is not just about your medical care. Everything that happens while you’re at the hospital affects your experience, such as:
- Having your doctor or nurse clearly explain your care to you and your family
- Receiving help when you need it
- Getting answers to your questions about medications
- Having a clean room
- Sleeping well at night because it’s quiet
- Understanding what you need to do at home to recover
