Physicians Benefit from PFCC
It’s one of the most common adages today, “do more with less”. It seems no one is able to escape its grip. Ever tightening budgets, increased layoffs, decreased morale, decreased reimbursements…on and on it goes. Doctors are no more immune to this particular disease than anyone else.
What to do?
Patient and Family Centered Care (PFCC) is an answer. Actually, it’s rapidly proving itself to be THE ANSWER! Understand this – PFCC is not something else that must be added on to an already overbooked schedule. It’s also not something that only affects one specific aspect of care being provided. PFCC is intrinsic to the work that is already occurring. It is truly a shift in focus…in perspective. The concept of the shift is simple: move from focusing on what seems to work best from the eyes of the caregiver, to what obviously works best from the eyes of the patient and family. The amazing thing is that once this shift takes hold, it becomes clear that what is good for the patient is good for everyone involved. It’s like the golden rule for health care, doing what benefits others, benefits all! Learn how PFCC will:
- Turn your OR over faster.
- Increase the efficiency of your clinic.
- Attain Press Ganey and HCAHPS scores in the 90th plus percentile.
- Improve the ability to recruit and retain all levels of staff.
- Develop high performance care teams that dramatically increase your patient volume while improving your efficiencies, and simultaneously improving the quality of care, safety and outcomes.
