“No Time to be Timid: Making the Financial Case for PX Professionals” has arrived — a vital read for healthcare organizations and Patient Experience leaders alike.

At The Beryl Institute, our own Dr. Nicole Kirchhoffer DNP, MS, RN, CEN, CPXP, FPCC, NEA‑BC, Patient Experience Officer and AVP at Maimonides Health, makes the case: PX isn’t just “nice to have”—it’s strategic.

Dr. Kirchhoffer and co-authors unpack how PX efforts influence outcomes, reduce readmissions, lower costs, and strengthen organizational financial health. The takeaway: data + story = influence at the C-suite table.

Read it, share it, and let’s elevate the voice of PX in your organization. 👥
