Abstract
This commentary submitted by Patient Experience Journal (PXJ) Associate Editor begins with a simple observation: sometimes, in our effort to measure everything, we miss what’s right in front of us. We look up at the data but fail to notice the larger shape taking form above it, something tall, quiet, and graceful that changes how we see the landscape. Patient experience work demands that we hold both the precision of metrics and the wonder of narrative to truly understand of patients’ experiences of care. Numbers tell us how we are performing and stories remind us why it matters. When we bring the two into focus, we begin to see the patterns that make transformative patient experiences possible.
