Research supports the connection between the patient experience, patient safety, and clinical outcomes. How do these health care factors intersect to support human connection and trust within clinical encounters? And why is that essential?

In this episode of the Key in to Quality podcast, Dawn Davis, M.D., department chair and consultant, Dermatology, Mayo Clinic, shares her thoughts on the patient journey: from first making an appointment to walking out of the hospital or clinic. According to Dr. Davis, the journey involves the patient, their family, caregivers, and providers, and requires a unique skillset to make personal connections, build trust, and help patients feel seen and heard. She says making patients the top priority in every interaction leads to better patient outcomes and increased satisfaction by patients and those caring for them.
