Ownership at the Frontline: Innovating an Experience Champions Program
Published October 1, 2024


Many patient experience teams are small, and it’s hard to do it all. Having an “Experience Champs” program allows us to have multiple hands with one voice influencing all locations. Experience Champs are made up of frontline staff members who are chosen by their leaders as passionate role models. During the last five years, the program has expanded from 50 to over 650 champions throughout our system. Nearly 1 in 50 employees are Experience Champions. Join this webinar to hear about UCHealth’s Experience Champions Program.
