NRC Picker’s research demonstrates the interactive relationship between the perceptions and experiences of employees and the patient experience. Committed employees provide more patient-centered care, which results in higher patient experience scores. 

Research also shows a relationship between organizations that provide patient-centered care and those with committed employees.

Our employee experience instrument design incorporates traditional human resources components and provides an assessment of the organization’s patient care environment from the provider’s perspective.
