UMBC Social Work Assistant Professor Nancy Kusmaul has been awarded a 2017 Patient Experience Grant from The Beryl Institute for her work on "Person Centered Care: Definitions and Perceptions of Various Stakeholders."
The Patient Experience Grant Program supports healthcare organizations as they test ideas and efforts impacting the experiences of patients and families.
The Beryl Institute is the global community of practice dedicated to improving the patient experience through collaboration and shared knowledge. We define patient experience as the sum of all interactions, shaped by an organization's culture, that influence patient perceptions across the continuum of care.
