Why Do You Need Healthcare Research?

Healthcare, being a service delivered by teams, has unique characteristics. Patients and those close to them access services when they are most vulnerable, raising the impact of every interaction in the experience. Similarly, the experience is strongly driven by the internal branding and customer-centeredness of the organization. In high reliability organizations such as those in healthcare, this is an even greater effect. Research has shown with abundant evidence that there are strong linkages between organizational climate and the quality of care.
