StoryCare®

If you’re like most people you’ve seen training where powerful learning occurred.  But then…nothing: no application, no change, and no results.  StoryCare solves this problem by delivering content in a way that fuses it to a learner’s mind: through stories!  Each StoryCare story chronicals a real-life medical event.  And, each story is coupled with its own debriefing roadmap that guides learners through a level of self-reflection that will show huge dividends in their decision-making and team behavior.

Every StoryCare story is based on an actual event and was chosen because someone like you said it was important. The StoryCare library is about you, whether you are in staff development, risk management, quality, or patient care, StoryCare stories are real world for the real world.  

StoryCare stories address the following major learning areas that hospitals are concentrating on today:

• Patient Safety
• Care Quality
• Patient Satisfaction
• TeamSTEPPS
• Partnership for Patients and other CMS initiatives
• QSEN (Quality and Safety Education for Nurses)

15 minutes is all you need using StoryCare to make your content stick. StoryCare works by engaging people in the decisions of practitioners and their patients at critical moments in the patient’s care. Once learners are fully immersed in a StoryCare story, they are then challenged to apply the facts, choices, and behaviors seen in the story to their own daily work environment. The time it takes to complete all of this? 15 Minutes. And, unlike other kinds of fame, that’s 15 minutes that can have dramatic long-term results.

Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) is a privately funded project aimed at preparing nurses with the knowledge, skills and attitudes that they need to continuously improve the quality and safety of the healthcare systems within which they serve.

The six competencies are:

• Patient-centered care
• Teamwork and collaboration
• Evidenced-based practice
• Quality improvement
• Safety
• Informatics

Pioneered in part by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), the QSEN competencies round out what many institutions believe are essential attributes for today’s nurse. StoryCare sparks a level of engagement in QSEN that makes learning easy and fun.

Food Services, Housekeeping, Maintenance, not to mention Patient Intake and Discharge-all are people you could never reach before but who still impact patient safety, care quality, and patient satisfaction. We deliver StoryCare to you on an institution-wide basis, not just to some people, to anyone you want to have access, and at no extra charge. It comes to you cloud based and ready to run on a PC, iPad, or iPhone. Each story is delivered as an audio file and is supported by a written story transcript, debriefing guide, and other tools meant to drive the story’s message home. And, if you are using StoryCare in a nursing school setting, the impact and reach can be just as profound.
