Point

How we work with patient journeys

A patient journey tells a meaningful story about the experience of the people in question.  It summarizes and simplifies many stories into an overview, describes different stages, feelings, and sentiments, as well as clarifies opportunities for improvement. The journeys contain key findings and provide a clear perspective on the hierarchy of events respective for each stage – showing both a summary – the big picture, and particular events along the way – the detailed information.

Patient journeys are especially useful in planning activities and strategies that aim at being the most relevant and impactful in improving patients’ lives.

Some elements that journeys designed at Point often include are: phases, needs, feelings, actors involved, and quotes from the patients are their relatives – to ensure the material represents real human experiences and that it can be real support in setting relevant strategic goals, creating tactics, prototypes, and designing communication materials that patients can relate to.
