The DiSC® assessment enables each leader to understand their communication style and gain an understanding of the ways they could improve communication with the leaders they collaborated with, who have different communication styles. Both assessments are geared towards self-examination and prodded the organization towards taking an honest look at how they functioned collectively and on an individual level and helped to clarify their perspective and reiterate their core values as a patient experience organization. The use of the Experience Assessment enabled an objective evaluation of the team’s readiness for patient experience improvements, in conjunction with the insights gleaned from the Extended DiSC® assessment. <strong>Experience Framework</strong> This article is associated with the Staff & Provider Engagement lens of The Beryl Institute Experience Framework.
