      Mission Exceptional

      Your mission, should you choose to accept it...Low patient scores can hurt your reputation and your bottom line. Patient experience has grown in importance and is a key performance indicator for healthcare providers. On a daily basis people arrive for care with providers, and they are no longer just patients, but sophisticated and savvy consumers. Providing exemplary care is no longer enough to engage patients. We must make that human connection and accept the mission to create "The Exceptional Experience." The numerous benefits of providing the exceptional experience include: patient retention, loyalty, growth, trust, service recovery and risk mitigation. Join us as we look at the relationship between quality, service and the exceptional experience. Develop a new perspective on the difference between delivering an experience vs. just providing customer service. Gain insight into "exceptional" as we study the top experts in the fields of delivering quality exceptional experiences.

      Testimonials

      This is probably the best conference I’ve ever been to. The motivational speakers are outstanding. You’re just left with a really good feeling. And then the professional part of the program was outstanding as well. Some really top-notch speakers and their specialties and I felt like I learned a whole lot.
      David Lovelace, DOEmergency Physician
      I choose to come to EXPLORE because it’s well put together. It’s been organized from the top down very well. Every year the speakers have been very good. It makes me think beyond medicine. Sometimes it’s about adventure, sometimes it’s about crises but each time it pulls us out of our silos of medicine and puts it into a different mind thought. I also enjoy the camaraderie of people that I don’t see for maybe once a year, but people I’ve known for maybe 20 to 30 years.
      Andrew Gin, MDNeurologist
      EXPLORE provides a great avenue to meet with physicians and healthcare workers around the state to educate them on some of the newer things we have as far as technology and advances in treatment for cancer. PLICO has done a great job with this conference and getting their brand name out there.
