StoryCare is very easy to implement. While it was designed to take just a few minutes of your staff’s time each week with very little preparation on your part, don’t let its simplicity lead you to think (or leave you with the impression) that it’s not also a powerful change tool. In fact, the fundamentals of StoryCare draw on cultural traditions going back thousands of years. From the beginning of human history people have been using storytelling to teach and engage each other with important ideas crucial to survival. Contemporary science has confirmed what ancient people intuitively understood—we are all wired for story. In fact, extensive research in the educational field and the social sciences has found that when coupled with reflection, there may be no more powerful ‘springboard’ for changing behavior than storytelling.

One of the biggest challenges a team leader can face is keeping your team focused on the fundamentals of caring for your patients and their family members while ensuring their safety and satisfaction. StoryCare was created to help you and your team to maintain that focus on ‘getting it right’ with every patient, every day.
