Empowered by technology, healthcare consumers have more leverage, higher expectations, and a greater likelihood to change how healthcare services are provided than ever before. Organizations have been trying to understand their customers’ behaviors for a long time. This type of insight helps every facet of a business from service development, to customer support to their own internal corporate culture. In fact, it is a key differentiator in a crowded marketplace. A sound patient experience strategy is a keystone in developing the desired organizational culture and addressing many of the challenges facing today’s healthcare consumers and providers.

Blue & Co. provides value to healthcare providers by unifying senior leadership around a well-defined patient and employee experience vision. We seek to understand your culture and how it helps deliver your intended brand promise by assisting leaders to empathically engage the workforce, patients and the community in a way that furthers pride and loyalty to your organization. We focus on the needs, desires and barriers of internal and external customers and apply innovative approaches to patient experience strategy and improvement efforts to increase customer stickiness, catalyze culture, and improve the bottom line.

Blue & Co. provides solutions to best amplify senior leadership’s current patient experience efforts while considering resource constraints. We center our efforts around the pateint and use a proven competency model, our industry experience and other tools to co-create a roadmap for success.
