Transforming Patient Experience with PX Ninety and Ikigai WowX

PX Ninety, designed to instill empathy, communication, and personalization in every patient interaction, complements VISTA’s Ikigai WowX philosophy. Rooted in the Japanese concept of ikigai—a sense of purpose and fulfillment—WowX represents VISTA’s mission to deliver exceptional experiences that go beyond medical care to transform lives.

“Our goal has always been to go beyond clinical excellence,” said Carol Heng, Regional Center Manager at VISTA and Chief Experience Designer for VISTA’s PX Ninety program. “With PX Ninety and Ikigai WowX, we’re redefining eye care by creating interactions that are not just impactful but transformative for our patients, our staff, and the communities we serve.”

• Empower Employees: Foster a workplace culture where purpose and collaboration thrive.
• Impact Communities: Extend care beyond the clinic, enriching the lives of those in the community.

Why Patient Experience is the Future of Healthcare

Patient experience is emerging as a key differentiator in the healthcare industry. VISTA’s strategic focus on how patients feel at every step of their journey aims to address not just clinical needs but emotional well-being, creating moments of joy and hope.

“Imagine a patient who has struggled with impaired vision for years suddenly seeing the world clearly for the first time,” explained Bernard Chan, Training & Sustainability Manager and Experience Designer Coach for PX90 at VISTA. “This is more than a medical outcome; it’s a life transformation. PX Ninety  and Ikigai WowX empower us to celebrate these moments and inspire patients to live with newfound confidence and purpose.”

Leadership in Healthcare Innovation

This collaboration underscores VISTA’s position as a thought leader in healthcare, setting a precedent for others in the industry to follow. By prioritizing patient experience, VISTA is redefining healthcare not just as a necessity but as a mission to deliver purpose, satisfaction, and impact.

“VISTA’s adoption of PX Ninety is an invitation to the healthcare industry to think bigger,” said Shareef Mahdavi. “It’s about making healthcare more human, more compassionate, and ultimately more meaningful for everyone involved.”
