"I worked with PROPEL for years. It’s amazing to me what these principles can do to engage a multidisciplinary healthcare team. The units who used PROPEL saw results such as: increased employee engagement scores, decreased falls, and decreased turnover. People started coming to work happy to be there instead of dreading the issues that were bound to come up. PROPEL changed the way that our teams viewed and solved problems. Problems became an opportunity to improve and collaborate rather than a way of bringing the team down. Staff started supporting each other and work became more like family. I’m now the Senior Vice President of Patient Care Services and Chief Nursing Officer at GBMC Healthcare and have already brought PROPEL to this organization because I know about the positive changes it creates."
