The Evolving Role of the Healthcare Chief Experience Officer

To drive differentiation, loyalty, and growth for their organizations, a new cadre of health executives, Chief Experience Officers (CXOs), are gaining prominence. 

These mavericks and change agents are tasked with creating sustainable system transformation that delivers optimal care to patients and families while empowering care teams and staff to achieve their highest healing potential.
