Proton Therapy Patient (summary)
DESCRIPTORS
• Most are males, approaching
retirement age or older with prostate
cancer or difficult to treat/reach
cancers
• Knowledgeable, independent
individuals who conduct research for
their best chance at a better quality
life; place high value on information
BEHAVIORS
• Research is an important part of
decision-making
• While time is of the essence, they invest a lot of effort on primary (e.g., interviewing patients and physicians) and secondary research (e.g., online information)
• Rely on their physicians, family members and friends to provide insight (e.g. treatment options, providers), but they make their own decisions
“I didn’t realize proton therapy was an option for me until I started
doing my homework. Without a nudge, I probably would have
gone with a more common approach, so I’m glad I took the extra
step. I believe this will provide me with a higher quality of life.”
NEEDS
• Severity of diagnosis and side
effects of traditional cancer
treatments create sense of
urgency and determination to find
best option for a quality life
• Involved and enduring treatment
increases anxiety for patients and
amount of care needed
• Knowledge about Proton Therapy
Center is limited to nonexistent

ADAPTING PRACTICES

PAGE 41
Status Quo Vision
Transformation Requires Commitment Employees will travel up a “commitment curve” that defines the stages for building personal commitment to support
the brand; the design of implementation will take this into consideration using a combination of pilots, mandates,
and sharing of practices.
Internalization Individuals make new process their own and create innovative
ways to use and improve
T I M E
CO
MM
ITM
EN
T
High
Contact Individuals have heard
new initiative exists Low
Awareness Individuals are aware of basic scope and concepts of new
initiative
Understanding Individuals understand impacts to organization and their functional
area
Positive Perception Individuals understand new process impacts
and benefits to them
Adoption Individuals are willing to work
with and implement new process
Institutionalization New process is the way work is done -- the
new status quo
While the speed with which an
individual moves up the commitment
curve may vary, the stages themselves
are inevitable
PAGE 42
Prescriptions for Your Organizations
• Sell in the concept by linking to revenue potential • Satisfaction => Advocacy => Word of Mouth
• Empowered staff = happier patients
• Start with clinical services lines that are bought in
• Don’t try to tackle everything at once • Focus on “sphere of action”
• Identify quick wins and execute
• Follow-up and refine the process for new areas
• Share best practices across organization
