Three Keys for the PFCC
Methodology and Practice
Key #1: Viewing all care as experiences
through the eyes of patients and families.
Key #2: Engaging patients and families as
full partners in co-designing care with us.
Key #3: Providing simple solutions in a
complex system in order to overcome
hurdles and break down barriers to
providing exceptional care experiences.
The Key We’re Focused on Today
View All Care as an
Experience
and Through the Eyes of
Patients and Families
What is Shadowing?
Shadowing is the direct, real-
time observation of patients
and families as they move
through each step of a Care
Experience, over the full cycle
of care.
It’s Easy
“We watch what people do (and do not do)
and listen to what they say (and do not say).
The easiest thing about the search for insight
– in contrast to the search for hard data – is
that it’s everywhere and it’s free.”
“This enlightened perception reveals the
experience, not just the process. “ Tim Brown
“Change by Design

PFCC Actions and
Implementation Through
Working Groups
Shadowing and
Care Experience Flow Mapping
• Walk the walk of patients and
families…feel what they feel
• Shadow patients and families
through the selected care
experience, record subjective and
objective observations and
insights
• High impact for the $’s and effort
Who Can Shadow?…Anyone!
• Guiding Council and care
givers
• Shadowing for new hires and
light duty staff
• Students, volunteers,
summer interns, patient
advocates
“Being a nurse for 25 years I thought I
had a good understanding of what our
patients and families wanted because I
live it and work it every day. But I found
out that there are some things that are
more important to the patients than I
thought they were. For example, I didn’t
realize how many people were having a
hard time just finding my unit. Or that
parking was such a big issue.”

Six Steps to
Shadowing
Actual Experience
Presumed Flow
1. Define the Care Experience for Shadowing
2. Select the Patient and Family Shadower
3. Gather Information for the Shadowing Project
4. Connect with the Patient and Family
5. Observe the Patient’s and
Family’s Care Experience
6. Report Your Findings
Patient and Family Shadowing
Step 1
Which care experience do you want to
shadow?
Broad vs. narrow care experience?

Segments of Care
Step 1
Defining the Care Experience
Discharge Care Experience
Discharge Notification Preparation for D/C
Nurse Arrival for Discharge Instructions
Transport for Exit Check Out/Discharge
Segments of Care
Step 1
Example of Discharge
Touchpoints and Observations
Initial Discharge Notification
• Was the notification within a
reasonable time of discharge?
Preparation for Discharge
• Was the patient ready for discharge?
Nurse Arrival for Discharge
• Did the nurse arrive in a timely
fashion?
Example of Discharge
Touchpoints and Observations
Instructions
• Were the instructions presented in a way
the patient could understand?
Transportation for Exit
• Did the patient need transportation upon
discharge?
Exiting Facility
• Were there any issues for the family
members with valet or parking?
Examples of Ways to Segment
Shadowing for Other Experiences
Morning Rounds
• Physician and nurse communication to patient
• New nurses coming on duty
• Medication delivery
“Adopt-a-Patient”
• Can be at various time intervals
• Conversations will allow you to gain insight
about the patient experience
Step 2 Select the Patient and Family
Shadower
• Be a good observer and listener
• Have a positive, open and supportive
attitude
• Approach Shadowing with open eyes and
no biases
• Be empathic, compassionate, reliable and
trustworthy
Six Steps to Patient and
Family Shadowing
Gather Information for the
Shadowing Step 3
• Which patients and families should be Shadowed?
• What is the current pathway of the care experience to be Shadowed?
• When is the ideal time for Shadowing to occur,
based on patient volume, activity, type of
procedures involved, or other considerations?
Six Steps to Patient and
Family Shadowing
• When will you notify care givers about
the Shadowing that is about to take
place?
• Shadowers are Not Secret Shoppers
• Tip: It is always helpful for the
Shadower to take a quick tour of the
area to be Shadowed in advance.

Patient and Family Shadowing
Preparation Checklist
Prepare for Reporting
• How will you report information back to
the care givers who are requesting the
Shadowing?
Closing

Connect and Coordinate with
the Patient and Family Step 4
Steps to Patient and

• Make arrangements in advance with
patients and family members

purposes
• Arrangements with patients and family
members in advance will reduce their anxiety
• Emphasize your role in improving their
experience

Shadowing Changes
Your Perspective
--Susan P. Ferguson
Chief Nursing Officer,
Baptist-Collierville
“I can’t tell you how impactful
Shadowing is; once people
Shadow, they talk about
PFCC differently—getting to
view care through the eyes
of patients and families truly
provides Care Givers with a
different perspective.”

A Physician Becomes a Patient
"So now, on the other side of the fence, I have also
been able to think about being a patient, and one
whose life is threatened. I have come to regret how
much better a doctor I might have been, had I been at
the receiving end of medical care earlier in my
career. In the past eighteen months I have learnt as
many lessons from sometimes unwittingly insensitive
doctors and nurses as from many others
whose patience, encouragement and
quiet humor have sustained me through
dark times."
