Signals to Action: Northwestern Medicine’s Journey to Humanizing Healthcare Experiences

In an effort to (re)build trust post-pandemic, many health systems are experiencing the pressure to modernize methods used to engage patients and the workforce who care for them. This trend towards an improvement-focused understanding is reflected in the greater conversations happening across our industry, including the evolved shift in understanding from “Patient” to “Consumer” and “Human” experiences.
Join us for a fireside chat with Colleen Russell, Director of Engagement for Northwestern Medicine (NM), as we explore their contemporary approach to gathering feedback across the patient and coworker journeys. Particular attention will be paid to their “Short, Modern, Smart” philosophy and methodologies used to design personalized, convenient listening experiences that prompt real-time actionability and follow-up.
