CHAMPS Patient Experience / Santalucia Group to Work with Paula Timco to Offer Emergency Department Consulting
Cleveland, Ohio (PRWEB) October 07, 2013 -- CHAMPS Patient Experience / Santalucia Group has formed a strategic collaboration with Paula Timco to offer its new emergency department consulting service – PX3-ED.
With the new development of this emergency department consulting partnership, EDs can now leverage Carol Santalucia’s 30 years of healthcare service excellence and patient advocacy experience as well as Timco’s 17 years of experience working to implement operational improvements within healthcare systems.
As healthcare facilities across the country prepare for the introduction of ED-CAHPS in 2015, the importance of balancing efficiency and compassion in a high-paced environment has never been greater.
PX3-ED does just that by leveraging both people and process to improve the patient experience. Using principles from LEAN for Healthcare and other process improvement tools, Timco and CHAMPS Patient Experience determine the root causes of emergency department patient access and flow complications and develop relevant solutions and interventions that enhance the patient, family and employee experience.
Simultaneously, through a series of interactive trainings, Timco and CHAMPS teach staff the skills necessary to consistently deliver compassionate care, reduce patient anxiety and improve the patient experience.
“We are so excited to be working with Paula. It allows us to take the patient experience in the emergency department to the next level by focusing on both people and process, together,” said Carol Santalucia, vice president of CHAMPS Patient Experience / Santalucia Group.
