Research using the PROPEL Performance Improvement Process reveals that enabling employees to be at their best produces outstanding results in healthcare organizations.In research conducted in partnership with major academic medical centers, PROPEL has proven to be an innovative, evidence-based approach to increase revenue, reduce patient falls and infections, and improve both staff and patient satisfaction. Stop doing more of the same and start using the science of high performance.

Seemingly impossible demands are placed on you and your team. Some coworkers are constantly complaining; others are in their silos doing what they must to get through the long days. Collaboration is often lacking, and patients suffer the painful consequences. It’s easy to become overloaded with work and overwhelmed with negativity.This is not how the healthcare profession has to be. There is a new science – Positive Psychology – that studies how people are able to perform extraordinarily well in challenging situations. After a dozen years of research in prestigious medical centers, an evidence-based method for applying this science has been developed. That six step program is PROPEL. In this book I share stories based on my experiences with doctors, nurses and administrators who learned to use PROPEL to transform their professional life (and, for many, their personal life as well).• Staff engagement up to 87%• Staff reporting burnout down to 3%• End use of agency RNYou will read how they were able to attain remarkable results with their units and clinics: • Wait times for chemotherapy infusion reduced 6 hours• Patient fall rate cut by 70%• Patient satisfaction scores up 50%The cumulative impact to the bottom line has been calculated to be millions of dollars – in each of these settings. However, the most meaningful measure of PROPEL’s success comes when people share their heartfelt gratitude for having recaptured their joy for working in healthcare. Show less

Feeling overwhelmed by everything you have to do? Many healthcare organizations these days have adopted the “do more with less” approach. That means you have to do more in less time and with fewer people. The pressure to perform is mounting - demands come down from senior leaders while criticisms surface from your staff.We all know how stress makes us feel – pressured, tense, fearful, irritable, and ultimately – exhausted. • We try to breathe and relax, but our body remains… Show more Feeling overwhelmed by everything you have to do? Many healthcare organizations these days have adopted the “do more with less” approach. That means you have to do more in less time and with fewer people. The pressure to perform is mounting - demands come down from senior leaders while criticisms surface from your staff.We all know how stress makes us feel – pressured, tense, fearful, irritable, and ultimately – exhausted. • We try to breathe and relax, but our body remains restless. • We try giving ourselves a pep talk, but our mind ruminates. • We try to drown out the worrisome voice, but the wine wears off at 3 am. • We try to create work-life balance, but we’re driven to work rather than relax. • We crave connecting to our loved ones, but find it hard to enjoy relationships.Learning the six PROPEL skills enables you to consciously control the way in which you are thinking about stressful situations:♦ You learn to manage your mind so that you have the power to think about problems more productively! ♦ You connect to people who can support you!♦ You take better care of yourself so you could take care of others!♦ Rather than envisioning the worst that could happen, you focus on the best possible outcome! Rather than fueling your stress reactions, you can learn how to PROPEL yourself to being at your best more consistently. And when you adopt the mindset of a high performer, you’ll be much better at creating solutions and influencing people to work toward them.Developing a PROPEL mindset will enable you to rejuvenate your outlook. You’ll become clear about what you want in order to have a successful and satisfying career.
