[Patient's Clinical User Experience in Gastroenterology].

As clinical practices change to involve patients more actively and patient feedback becomes integrated into ongoing measures of quality, patients themselves, along with their families and friends, could play a creative part in crafting solutions to improve patient's experience. We could convene focus groups of patients to help examine varied aspects of our practice, ranging from the flow through our offices to the way we communicate. They could work with us, helping us make choices and set priorities. Incorporating both patients' perceptions and suggestions for change can address clinically significant aspects of the patient experience, foster the involvement of patients in their care, and help assess and improve the quality of the care we deliver. The electronic medical record and secure patient portals increasingly provide a powerful opportunity to actively promote patient involvement. Improving of patient's experience can help doctors draw closer to their patients and restore and strengthen public trust. It can both improve the quality of our care and add to the joy of being a doctor. Our purpose is to improve patients' treatment results, and through this, to feel rewarding as a doctor as a professional and to continue working as a doctor. To this end, improving the doctor-patient relationship through improving patient experience can be a key factor.
