Today, organizations are coming up with unique and creative ways to involve patients in their healthcare choices and direction and Sunnybrook has made this a part of their excellence value in patient care. Let your interviewer know that you are a firm believer that a patient that is involved and engaged in their own care have better results because of their buy-in into the process. If you have experience working with unique engagement tools like social media, telehealth tools or patient satisfaction surveys, talk about how these have bettered patient care by involving patients in their own care. If you haven't worked directly with these things, at least talk about their importance in today's healthcare landscape.

"As a scheduler in the primary care setting, we saw a significant decrease in our patient no-show rate when we implemented a system that allowed patients to enroll in text and/or email reminders for their appointments. I've had several patients tell me that the reminders a week and one day prior to appointments helped trigger them to make the appointment. For our scheduling staff, this allowed more time for us to focus on future appointment scheduling and greatly increased the productivity of the providers in our clinic. The simple system was a win-win for all involved."
