Patient Experience Grant and Scholar Programs
As part of our commitment to expanding the global conversation and advancing the body of knowledge on the human experience in healthcare, The Beryl Institute established the Patient Experience Grant and Scholar Programs in 2010 to support PX/HX research. Following the 2025 awards, these programs were sunset as researchers increasingly shifted to publishing their work through Patient Experience Journal (PXJ) and other academic journals.
The mission of the programs was to encourage and support research and inquiry on:
- The value of focusing on patient experience at all touchpoints across the continuum of care
- The impact a commitment to experience has on healthcare outcomes from clinical outcomes to financial results, consumer loyalty to community reputation
The goals of the program were to:
- Broaden the dialogue on the value and impact of focusing on the patient experience
- Increase the volume of data‐driven and evidence-based processes and practices in support of improving the patient and human experience in healthcare
- Frame and expand the body of knowledge and support insights around the 8 strategic lenses of the Experience Framework that can inform and guide healthcare strategy and actions
