“Most hospitals want to integrate e� orts to improve work culture, patient safety, clinical quality and patient engagement; they just don’t know how to do it. The Contrast Creative team keeps up to date on the changing healthcare landscape, and they know how to research, collaborate and put the pieces together to produce results.

They are a ‘high-performing team,’ and I always look forward to working with them on any project!”

CONNECTING EMPLOYEES TO

Mission Vision Values

Seeking Satisfaction

Healthcare is undergoing a dramatic transformation. With the advent of the A� ordable Care Act and Value Based Purchasing, hospital payments are determined by quality of care rather than the volume of patients treated.

Clinical Process of Care, Outcome and E� ciency are rated alongside the Patient Experience. For healthcare public relations and marketing professionals, the goals of improving work culture and connecting employees to patients have never been more pivotal.

Now that the Patient Experience represents 30 percent of the Value Based Purchasing score, how are you keeping your patients satis� ed?

The Patient Experience signifi cantly impacts your hospital’s bottom line.

Creating Connections

Improving communication throughout your organization is the key to elevating the Patient Experience. We believe that all parties striving for optimal communication can change healthcare for the better.

Connecting employees to the purpose of their mission not only improves work culture, but also the Patient Experience. Encouraging employee engagement will increase patient engagement and satisfaction. Employees are your greatest brand ambassadors. But in today’s current environment, employees are being asked to do more with less, which can disconnect them from the patient. An employee who understands an organization’s mission, vision and values will develop a sense of purpose and form a greater connection to the patient.

“Worldwide, four out of 10 employees are still not engaged.” –Aon Hewitt’s 2013 Trends in Global Employee Engagement

Delivering patient satisfaction is of the utmost importance. Today, an informed patient is sitting squarely in the driver’s seat of her care. Understanding not only how your patients feel about their experience but also why they feel the way they do is vital to developing a successful Patient Experience initiative. We believe satisfaction begins with a healthcare organization’s workforce; the better the work culture, the more satis� ed the patient.

Our expertise lies in creating customized content solutions that communicate a clear message designed to motivate and inspire a certain action, perception and behavior in an effort to measurably improve work culture, patient safety, clinical quality and patient engagement.
