• Explain the importance of using patient feedback in department-level strategic planning and beyond.
• Identify key areas of improvement, as well as key areas of success, based on priorities derived from qualitative patient feedback, addressing patient and provider needs.
• Compose targeted summary analytics for varied audience types and their intended application (e.g., providers, managers).

Mary Kay O’Connor, Founder & CEO, PatientsVoices
