Today's patients are more informed than ever before and have access to a greater number of options, offers and services to satisfy their needs. Healthcare companies find themselves in a highly competitive and changing environment. How do you stand out? By offering fast, simple and integrated solutions to patient problems and an excellent experience.

According to an article published in Harvard Business Review, customer experience -a term known as customer service- is "the internal and subjective response that customers have to any direct or indirect contact with a company.

According to the authors, the secret of a good experience does not lie in the multiplicity of offers or services offered, but in the experiences of patients during the purchase or provision of a service, and the value proposition of each offer and service provided. "The quality and scope of service are also important, as the goal is to provide a positive user experience," Schwager and Meyer point out.

POS equipment is an ideal tool for improving the patient experience in healthcare companies, pharmacies or clinical laboratories. Why? One, because they help healthcare companies collect and analyze patient data in an automated way at different touch points. Second, because they help companies design an effective and efficient customer and/or patient journey.

Schwager and Meyer define touch points as "the instances of direct patient contact with the product or service provided". The term customer corridor is used to describe the series of touch points a patient experiences. "Interactions are most important when the primary offering is the provision of a service, as they lead the customer to a subsequent and more valuable interaction."

The digitization of administrative processes through the use of POS equipment and tools makes it possible to serve patients from admission to discharge more quickly and systematically, optimize the administration and/or sale of required medications, and streamline point-of-sale transactions.
