Organizational Excellence, Patient Experience & Quality

Relationship-Based Care®

Culture is everything.

Relationship-Based Care® (RBC) is an operational blueprint for improving safety, quality, the patient experience, employee engagement, and financial performance. RBC advances the culture of health care organizations by focusing on three key relationships: relationship with self, with colleagues, and with patients/families. Structures, processes, and relationships are designed to support every team member’s ability to provide attuned, compassionate, high quality care.

In an RBC culture, teams are reconnected with the purpose and meaning of their work and take ownership for providing the best possible care and service. All members of the organization are valued for their contributions and supported in continuous learning and reaching their full potential.

Talk with a CHCM consultant to take the first step toward advancing a Relationship-Based Care culture in your organization.
