In this episode, hosts Chris Boyer and Reed Smith explore the evolution of patient experience, from its holistic roots to today’s data-driven strategies. They discuss how healthcare’s focus on patient satisfaction metrics, Chief Experience Officers, and financial incentives has reshaped care—raising the question: are we truly improving experiences or just measuring them better?

They also examine how digital engagement has transformed patient interactions, from search-driven healthcare decisions and AI-powered personalization to telehealth and omnichannel experiences. 

Joining them is John Berndt of Valtech, who shares insights from the 2025 Emerging Experiences in Consumer Healthcare Report, including the shift toward vertical integration, the role of call centers in digital efforts, and how LLMs are shaping content supply chains for health systems.
