Abstrakt: Increasing attention is being given to improving patient experience in health care. Most children's hospitals have a patient experience office or team that champions and measures patient experience and partners with operations to optimize performance in this area. We outline the activities that our patient experience team undertakes at our pediatric health system to advocate for, measure and improve the experience of our patients and families. The framework we propose for such activities includes those that are proactive in improving patient experience as well as those that are reactive to when patients and families have had a poor experience. Those reactive practices are often centered on the management of patient complaints and grievances and early intervention into patient complaints so that they do not become grievances.
