What I’ll cover today

• Background to the project
• Some of the challenges we needed to consider
• Coaching principles which underpinned our approach
• The model of an introductory conversation
• The Heroic Journey
• Results and 9 months on….

Project Overview

• Integrated Care – funding with a fixed expiry of 30 June 2017
• 5 pilot services
• 13 weeks
• Using HealthDirect Videocall

How might we make this happen?

• Tight timeframe – need almost everything to go well!
• Multiple stakeholders: clinicians, nursing, clerical staff, ICT,

vendor

• Our solution: use a coaching framework – indirectly facilitate

clinically-led implementation design

A few coaching principles

• Present and future focus
• Solution-oriented approach
• Unyielding belief that the client can achieve the goal
• Unconditional positive regard
• The client as the expert on themselves
• The art of asking great questions
• Taking a strengths-based approach
• The concept of a transformational heroic journey

As the implementation team, we’re there to ask the right questions, facilitate what needs to happen, and let the client shape the end solution based on what they want.

• Can take higher acuity patients or patients whose distance from the hospital

might have otherwise made them ineligible
