April 18, 2018
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Beacon Health System has launched Quality Reviews® real-time patient feedback and service recovery tools, Q-Connect and Q-Rounding throughout the health system. Leveraging the ubiquity of smartphones, Beacon is the first in Indiana to offer patients the opportunity to share feedback within minutes to hours after an episode of care with Quality Reviews®.
“Our patients deserve to have their voices heard, and this tool gives us the ability to not only listen to, but also improve patients’ experience in real-time. This tool helps us achieve our overarching goal of making Beacon a welcoming place where patients know and feel that we care about them,” said Lori Turner, Chief Marketing, Innovation, and Customer Experience Officer at Beacon Health System.
Q-Connect and Q-Rounding give health care organizations like Beacon the ability to instantly receive feedback from patients within minutes after they receive care. This is made possible through the utilization of text messages and smartphone technology to create a dialogue between providers and their patients. After a text is sent, smartphone users simply press a secure link allowing them to provide valuable feedback to hospital leadership in real-time.
“Delivering a superior patient experience as always been central to Beacon’s mission. With this tool, we can now sharpen our focus on improving that experience for all patients,” Turner said. “The ability to receive feedback immediately is a game-changer for us.”
Quality Reviews® is a New York City-based company that launched Q-Connect and Q-Rounding “to give patients a voice and health care institutions an ear to listen carefully and make faster, more effective care delivery decisions,” said Edward Shin, MD, Chief Executive Officer of Quality Reviews®. “Beacon is the first health system in Indiana to understand that performance improvement is powered by better patient experience data. We look forward to collaborating with Beacon to amplify the patient voice for the purpose of improved patient care.”
