Patient and Family Advisors and healthcare improvement
Scene: "The Advisor's Impact"
?
HOSPITAL BOARD ROOM - DAY
?
NOBLE (warm and determined) sits at a large table with hospital administrators and staff. He's wearing a "Patient and Family Advisor" badge.
?
HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATOR (skeptical)
Noble, you're suggesting we change our entire patient intake process?
?
NOBLE (leaning forward, passionate) Yes, I am. As someone who's been through it multiple times with my family, I can tell you it's confusing and intimidating for patients.
?
Noble stands and walks to a whiteboard, sketching out a simplified flow chart.
?
NOBLE (CONT'D) If we reorganize it like this, it'll be more efficient for staff and less stressful for patients. It's about creating a welcoming environment from the moment they walk in.
?
DR. THOMPSON (impressed) I see what you mean. This could really improve patient experience.
?
NOBLE (smiling) Exactly. And when patients feel heard and respected, they're more likely to follow treatment plans and have better outcomes.
?
The room buzzes with excitement as staff start discussing the idea.
?
HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATOR (nodding) Noble, this is why we need Patient and Family Advisors. You bring a perspective we simply can't have on our own.
