This webinar, co-hosted by the Center for Patient Partnerships, will review the advent of patient experience as a vital measure of health care quality and highlight innovations designed to elicit patients' stories about health and health care with more narrative richness than current validated instruments. Specifically, we will highlight two strategies for rigorously collecting and using qualitative patient experience data:
1. A set of validated open-ended questions which can either stand alone or be used in conjunction with patient experience surveys, and
2. An internationally-vetted methodology for researching and publicly presenting video-taped patient experience data, which is now being implemented in the United States.
