3 Key Premises
We have reached the ceiling in how much we can improve patient satisfaction scores with our current approach.
We cannot go from good to great in patient perceptions by copying and deploying what they do at service companies like Ritz-Carlton or Nordstrom’s.
Culture is driven by management systems, not workers or values.

On Measurement
“Not all that can be counted, counts. And not all that
counts can be counted.” -- Albert Einstein
“The most important figures one needs for management
are unknown and unknowable…(invisible also used)…
What is the value, for instance, of the multiplying effect of
a happy customer and the opposite effect from an
unhappy customer…(or the) Loss from inhibitors to pride
of workmanship?”
-- W. Edwards Deming, Out of the Crisis, p. 122

In Commercial BusinessesResearch on satisfaction shows…
On a scale of 1 to 5, people who mark a 4 are six times more likely to defect to the competition than those who mark a 5.
Harvard Business Review, Nov-Dec, 1995

Meeting expectations = 0
Satisfied = 0
Satisfied patients have no story to tell

It’s the same as zero!Neither good nor bad.
Patient satisfaction is a fool’s gold.

Joe Pine, The Experience Economy
The progression of economic value
Entertainment?
Theater is about life – comedy and tragedy.
Hospital:Meeting the emotional needs of a family suffering a tragedy together.
Disney:Meeting the emotional needs of a family to have fun together.
A hospital without compassion is like Disney without fun.
Focus on the patient’s experience, not our service…
Companies stage an experience whenever they
engage customers, connecting with them in a personal, memorable way.”
“They actually occur with any individual who has
been engaged on an emotional, physical, intellectual, or even spiritual level. The result? No two people can have the same experience – period.”
B. Joseph Pine II, The Experience Economy
At the Wilderness Lodge
Think Disney experience, not just department or hotel
service.
Think patient experience, not just
department or hospital service.
Or…Or…
Our Service Or Their Experience?

Depends on the emotional needs of the patient.
Service paradigm Experience paradigmOR
THE DIRECTOR:
Start by describing the experience you want the guest
to have (see, hear, and feel) and how to make each
scene memorable.
Cast for the talent to play the role called for in the guest
experience, rather than just the skills to do a job.
Clarify each person’s role in creating a memorable
experience and get their commitment to their role.
Borrowing from Theater
THE ACTOR:
Actors learn how to be real by becoming emotionally
engaged with their character.
Actors rely on sense memory and imagination to become
real in their role.
Borrowing from Theater
Acting is not pretending…Eric Morris, No Acting, Please (first sentence)
Acting is the art of creating genuine realities on the stage. No matter what the material, the actor’s fundamental question is: “What is the reality and how can I make it real to me?”
Acting must “come from a real place.”
To paraphrase…
Care giving is the art of creating genuine realities on the hospital stage. No matter what the event, the caregiver’s fundamental question is: “What is the reality of this patient’s experience, and how can I make it real to me?”
Compassion also must “come from a real place.”
Theater changes the service paradigm…
From patient satisfaction – to a fan with a story to tell
From just being courteous – to engaging the guest
From our service excellence – to their memorable experience
Theater changes the service paradigm…
From hiring for the skills to do a job – to casting for the talent to play a
caring role in the guest experience
From teaching body language –to teaching acting principles(being real through imagination)
Knowing how is not the problem…
Like losing weight, our problem is not with knowing how. When we want to enough, we figure out how and learn by doing.
Our problem is with being committed enough to do what it takes every day, and do it permanently, not just in short bursts of inspired energy.
W. Edwards Deming might add…
What is the value of a committed
ensemble of care givers who have
become compassionately engaged in the
patient’s experience?
