Understanding how theme parks enchant visitors could help healthcare facilities improve their patients experiences, according to an article on the Fast Company website.

Taking a "guest-first" approach, one hospital offers a computer system that, through a series of encounters, gets to know guests, and across visits remembers them and their medical history.
It allows the hospital to route a patient through an experience that feels relatively stress-free, intuitive, supportive and, most importantly, centered around them.
