Terry Mainous, MSN, RN, CMPE, Chief Nurse Executive and Vice President of Operations at Lee Physician Group in Fort Myers, Florida, joins our Healthcare Experience Matters Podcast this week to share an emotional story about learning from the mistakes of other people, and the role of empathy in delivering an unwaveringly excellent patient experience.
This discussion is highlighted by a moving story that Terry shares, involving her family and the extra spark it ignited within her to vow that her institution would never allow patient care to reflect an experience that makes patients, and their loved ones, feel neglected and unheard.
“There were many suggestions regarding [my father’s] care that I knew, both clinically and professionally, were not the right pathways for him. My objections were not listened to,” she told us.
“There was an attempt to overrule them, and it was a very stressful time for my family. I carry that with me because I don't want our patients to go through that same experience. I want all of our interactions with our patients to be positive and caring.”
It’s a simple message, but it goes a long way: learn from the mistakes of others and vow to do better. Furthermore, empathy can often be the best teaching tool moving forward.

In this week’s edition of the Healthcare Experience Matters Podcast, we invite Leslie Pagel to the show. Leslie is an expert in customer experience (CX) strategy, here to discuss navigating the great balancing act of embracing technology, such as conversational artificial intelligence (A.I.), as it evolves drastically, without losing the human touch in healthcare.

Leslie closely studies and follows the radical changes that A.I. will bring to data management in healthcare. Her knowledge of CX makes her an ideal guest for this increasingly important discussion in our field.
This interview with Leslie helps us understand how to best prioritize patients’ needs while ensuring that none of the efficiencies gained from working with A.I. tools are overlooked.
As we’ve learned in previous discussions on this show, many of the advances related to the current A.I. boom present a strong opportunity to help healthcare workers prevent burnout if implemented carefully and strategically.

Within a typical healthcare leader's journey and their rise in management ranks, it is not uncommon to transition from a colleague and friend to a position of authority.
When navigated properly in healthcare, this transition can be seamless, fruitful, and mutually beneficial to all parties involved, including the parent organization and the patients/communities it serves.
When mismanaged, this transition can be awkward, costly, and deeply consequential.
Joining us on our Healthcare Experience Matters Podcast this week is Kathleen Zwarick Shanley, PhD, CAE, PCC, ELI-MP. We will delve deep into this common occurrence in healthcare that requires caution and care.
