Build the quality indicators for patient journey design that reflect patient outcome, not activity.
Designing the Patient Journey from Booking to Follow-Up
A working programme in patient journey design for managers who have to deliver with existing resources.
Course Overview
Cost pressure and quality expectations on patient journey design are rising at the same time. The data supporting this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services is usually present but rarely assembled into a decision. Mature organisations treat this strand of health and pharmaceutical services as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about patient journey design under scrutiny. Buying a tool rarely fixes the health and pharmaceutical services capability; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. The course sets out a working method for this aspect of health and pharmaceutical services that participants can apply the week they return. Participants apply patient journey design to their own clinical service throughout, so the output is directly usable. Participants who influence the health and pharmaceutical services capability without directly controlling it will find the content directly usable. Participants leave with a plan for the practice within health and pharmaceutical services sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
