Healthcare experiences consist of a million small encounters, each contributing to the overall impression of your organization. The HX Academy empowers you to ensure that the impression you and your team leave is a positive one.

The HX Academy, designed by physicians, clinicians, patient experience experts, healthcare leaders, and award-winning video producers, offers pragmatic advice to help you improve immediately.

The content and presentation styles in each lesson are rooted in the real-life experiences of our experts working with over 300 hospitals, healthcare systems, clinics, and long-term care organizations.

The HX Academy video lessons allow you to leverage the knowledge of leaders in the field, understanding their expertise about healthcare experiences in a way that textbooks often don’t allow.
