It includes all aspects of care, including communication with healthcare providers, the environment of care, the efficiency of care delivery, and the emotional and physical support received by the patient. The goal of focusing on patient experience is to improve patient satisfaction, outcomes, and overall quality of care, ensuring that patients feel valued, heard, and involved in their healthcare decisions.
