KEYNOTE SPEAKER: JAKE POORE

The Power of Connections

When caregivers understand how to turn everyday business or clinical transactions into personal connections, it earns patients’ trust, makes their care safer, shortens patient length of stay, and drives better clinical outcomes. Everyone wins! Recent NRC research has revealed that when patients feel like caregivers treated them (or their family) as unique individuals, they are 295% more likely to rate the organization’s overall image and reputation as ‘Excellent.’
