More specifically, we identify elements of the maternity healthscape that affect patient experience in a positive or negative way. In this respect, 39 in-depth interviews were conducted with various maternity stakeholders—mothers, midwives, heads of midwives, and senior managers. As the journey of (soon-to-be) mothers is technically and emotionally complex, and as many critical touchpoints must be managed care-fully to ensure a smooth experience, the key challenge during the interviews was to find a way to directly and indirectly discuss healthscape elements influencing the patient journey with the interviewees. Therefore, the authors explore the potential gains of the critical incident technique for architectural research.", keywords = "Healthscape, Patient experience, Critical Incident Technique, Maternity, session 2D", author = "Carmen Martens and Ann Petermans and Cécile Delcourt", year = "2022", doi = "10.24404/6230845ddee05a06d680d766", language = "English", url = "https://dapp.orvium.io/deposits/6230845ddee05a06d680d766/view", }
