Our menu of coaching, education and experiential offerings focuses on discovering the most powerful levers of change in an organization, activating caregivers to problem solve and create change, advancing these efforts in the spirit of continuous quality improvement, and innovating to raise the bar for what patients, families and caregivers can expect from a patient-centered healthcare experience.

Cultural Transformation
Effective patient centered care demands a full and authentic cultural commitment that can sometimes call for transformation. Healthcare needs new processes and systems to support the patient expectations of tomorrow. We have to change how we operate to find success in this new era of medicine. Here are some of our services that support cultural transformation: - Organizational Assessments
- Steering Team Development
- Strategic Planning Support
- Care Team Development
Patient Activation
In order to activate patients to participate in their care we first need to give them access (to family, resources, information) and then actively include them in their care process. This calls for a substantive shift from our customary approach. Our patient activation services create new mechanisms for patients, families, and staff to provide care that fulfills patient and family expectations while reengaging caregivers with a great sense of purpose. Here are some of our patient activation services: - Patient Centered Care Quality Check
- Patient and Family Partnership Council Development
- Patient Preference Passport Program Implementation
- Care Partner Program Development
- Compassionate Human Interactions
Staff Engagement
In order to be patient centered, we first need to be staff centered. Our staff engagement offerings restore purpose and then bridge the gap between intentions and outcomes.

Here are some of our staff engagement services: - Staff Retreats
- Care for the Caregiver Program Development
- Middle Management Coaching

Leadership Development
Every effective patient centered organization has an engaged and effective leadership team. By redefining goals, developing new structures, and aligning efforts with existing priorities, we help create a framework for success. Furthermore, we aid leaders to develop and sustain behaviors that lead to ongoing patient centered success. The fusion of personal behavioral advancement with structural process change drives higher organizational performance. Here are some of our leadership development services: - Leadership Retreats

Performance Improvement
Now more than ever before, healthcare organizations are being asked to meet measurably higher quality standards, increase service efficiency, and create optimal patient experiences all with significantly reduced capital and environmental resources.

The following services that can help to evaluate ways to make care delivery more efficient, have the dual benefit of building internal subject matter expertise for achieving reliable patient-centered outcomes and inspiring motivation to continuously improve: - Patient-Centered Performance Improvement Certification Training
- Enterprise Wide Pathways Improvement Assessment
- Patient-Centered Performance Improvement Design and Transition Planning
- Shared Decision Making Implementation
Design Services
Healing Environments that have a demonstrated positive impact on both the patient and visitor experience of care and the perception of care quality are those that support personalized choice, dignity, and control. By promoting adaptive use, wellness, and enhancing the safety and nurturing of patients, they are instrumental in activating holistic community health through innovation and evidence-based, sustainable design and operation. Through onsite and virtual sessions, these Planetree services are intended to help organizations realize their vision for creating patient-centered environments of care: - Community Design Assessments
