COMMIT TO SIMPLE CHANGES

"There was an elderly woman who was always getting out of bed, even though she was a fall risk. It turns out that the reason she kept getting out of bed was because staff kept putting her rosary beads away in the drawer across the room. They had to figure out what mattered to her, which was having those rosary beads. Having those with her in bed minimized her risk of falls."

Introduced in 2012, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's "What Matters to You?" program is one example of how the smallest changes can have a huge impact on patient care.

"Our previous CEO Maureen Bisognano reframed the question 'What's the matter with you?' to instead ask 'What matters to you?' " Lenoci-Edwards explains. "It has a huge applicability from a patient standpoint in terms of really defining the critical aspects of care that a patient needs in order to be happy and healthy."

The question highlights the discrepancy between patients and caregivers that can crop up when creating an optimal care plan. "Think about when the patient comes in and you're talking to them about cholesterol medications, when the truth is all they really care about is whether they can ambulate to the door to talk to the mailman every day," Lenoci-Edwards points out.
