51. “Difficult emotions play a major role here” Designing the patient path for the medical industry
In this episode, we talk to Ewelina Barylska, President of the Management Board Wratislavia Medica, on how to combine empathy, technology and management in the design of the patient experience.
There are several such moments that generate stress for patients and their families - even at the stage of online appointments.
Therefore, the good patient path on the website is a holistic view of the entire treatment process, which ultimately reduces stress and brings a sense of security to those involved in the process: the medical service, patients and those who support the sick person. Such care is not only about the stage of the site visit, but anticipating the needs of patients during diagnosis, treatment and the overall recovery process.
But is it possible in medical institutions to reconcile all these needs at all?
Empathy, frustration, anticipating the needs of a wider target group (patient, family, doctors, AI support) - for the latest conversation about the challenges of the medical industry, we invited Ewelina Barylska, President of the Management Board of Vratislavia Medica, a leader who for years combines effective management of healthcare facilities with concern for the real needs of patients.
In this conversation, we combine the psychological and technical aspect of patient experience design in the medical industry
