Using Gratitude to Elevate the Human Experience
Published September 5, 2024
In this webinar, the presenters will share how they developed a Gratitude Report as a part of Southcoast Health’s grateful patient program using positive patient feedback, comments, and stories to recognize caregivers that embody the values and service behaviors. The Gratitude Report is a list of employees’ names that have been mentioned by patients and then shared across our health system quarterly. This tool is helpful for all service line leaders to recognize their teams. Each employee that is mentioned multiple times receives a badge charm featuring one of our five Service Behaviors.
