Patients with better care experiences have better health outcomes. In addition, staff and clinics thrive when the patients they treat experience high degrees of satisfaction. Setting Expectations for Wait Times is part of a series of Patient Experience "Booster Shots" designed to provide health care workers with the tactical skills they need to navigate day-to day patient interactions, from the mundane (but still impactful) to the challenging.
