In this discussion board post I will describe my organization’s customer service and patient experience model. More specifically, I will describe the standards, measures, reward and recognition program, and staff training. Then I will go on to describe how my organization’s customer service model works with provided examples. Next I will discuss the customer service model and patient experience for my unit.

If the nurse believes a test needs to be done, or if she feels that the patient’s needs are not being met, she advocates for her patients. This is well respected by the doctors that deliver patients at my
