Featuring Special Guest

Tiffany Christensen, CPXP, Vice President of Experience Integration at the Beryl Institute

Tiffany approaches her work from the perspective of a patient living with cystic fibrosis having undergone two double lung transplants. As an Experience Professional and nationally recognized public speaker, she has authored three books: exploring advocacy, end-of-life planning and partnership strategies in healthcare. After working as a professional patient advocate in a major academic medical center, she began to merge her perspective as a life-long patient and healthcare experience professional. Now, she specializes in workshops, keynotes and writings that serve as a bridge between the professional and patient experience and families. She focuses on the integration of safety, quality and experience in healthcare and the authentic integration of the patient’s voice for meaningful improvement. She possesses a rare perspective, one that is grounded in compassion for both sides of the bed. She uses that perspective to help audiences reshape their understanding of “the practice of experience.”
