Cleveland Clinic - The Happiest Place on Earth (to Receive HealthCare) - and How You Can Do it Too
Paul Kuzmickas - The Enterprise Director for Quality, Safety, and Patient Experience spoke about the Ombudsman Office, its role, and ideas that can be implemented in any business.
The Ombudsman Office acts as a patient liaison rather than a patient advocate. They take feedback from patients to help improve the quality of care they provide, and also take feedback from care-givers and set and enforce rules for patient conduct.

The Cleveland Clinic uses HEART as a mnemonic for how to communicate: Hear, Empathize, Apologize, Respond, Thank.
