Case Study- TBRHSC

Executive Champion:

Director of Regional Surgical Services

Problem: The burden is on the nurses, surgeons, and staff to verbally repeat surgical teaching and answer follow-up questions from patients and their families for thousands of surgeries each year.

PROBLEMS with Status Quo:

  • Lack of standardization across nursing staff with long teaching appointments.
  • Poor patient retention and compliance, leading to no-shows, surgery cancellations, and delayed discharges.
  • Poor patient experience due to one-and-done teaching.
TBRHSC Async Videos

SOLUTION: Async Video Tech

  • Standardize the nurse script into 10 videos patients watch at home on their own time in their own language.
  • Patients and their families can watch the videos on the web or in their surgery app.
  • Test patient understanding at the end of each video to ensure patient compliance.
  • Use HCT analytics and best practices to implement marketing and operational workflows that ensure patients receive and watch the videos.

RESULTS:

  • Reduced inbound patient questions by 15:1, optimizing clinician and staff time.
  • Increased patient preparedness, e.g. patients bring their medication lists with them to pre-op appointments, patients are prepared for same-day discharge, and more. 
  • Improved patient experience scores: 97% of patients felt more prepared for their surgery and 99% found the videos helpful.
