Today’s objective



Describe successful techniques to hardwire family
needs for services at the bedside
An example of a organizational chart that redefined
family-centered care as family support services
Using “S.W.O.T.” and “priority matrix,” as tools to
start a plan for your hospital on:
1. Goal setting
2. Recruiting parents
3. Funding opportunities
4. Getting established

Family-Centered Care is a
philosophy of care that




Recognizes and respects the pivotal role of
the family in the care of an ill child
Supports the family, as they define it, building
on their strengths
Promotes a healthy pattern of living
Views professionals and the parents as equals
in the goal of achieving what is best for the
child
4
Key Elements of FCC process





The family is the constant in the child’s life
Information exchange is unbiased
Recognize and respects different methods of
coping
Encourages and facilitates family to family
support
Found not only in program or at the bedside,
but incorporates POLICY
5
This means that
through program and administrative development,
families and parents are fully integrated in the
care delivery at the Children’s Hospital
so that they can be the best parents for their child
who is admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis
that changed their family as they knew it

How did we do this?


Learned and used business speak to include family
involvement in both care delivery and program/space
development
Research and validate the need for change–example:




Direct cost savings
Increasing family satisfaction scores.
Make the pitch – selling family involvement to a highlevel administrator
Started small, advertised successes, and promoted
both staff and patient satisfaction.

S.W.O.T. Analysis:
Strengths and Weaknesses
A strength is something a company is good at doing or
a characteristic that gives it an important edge




An achievement that creates market advantage
A weakness is something a company lacks or does
poorly in comparison to its competition

S.W.O.T. Analysis:
Opportunities and Threats
An opportunity is a future situation that can positively change an
organization:
 Increase in demand for services or choice by families
 Improved satisfaction scores
 Saves money when continuity of care is woven through units
and services where families have needs
A threat is a present or emerging situation that can be hurt the
company
 Competition
 Low satisfaction scores
 Inability to attract staff due to satisfaction or advanced
technology abilities.

Business speak 101
Strength
INTERNAL
Weakness
Matching an internal
strength with
opportunity produces
leverage
Organizations that
don’t seize opportunity
become constrained.
An environmental
threat to a current
organizational strength
is vulnerability
A huge problem
emerge when outside
influences attack an
organization’s
weakness
