Hardcopy Message to Integrated Healthcare Team:
Dear Team,
I am writing to propose a trial involving Tommy McDermott, who is soon to be discharged. As part of his post-hospital care, we know a physiotherapist and a tutor will follow-up with him at home. I believe adding the services of a healthcare clown, specifically Claris, could provide additional benefits by making post-hospital care instructions more understandable and less intimidating for Tommy.
Claris has expressed enthusiasm for the role and is eager to assist in making the transition smoother for young patients like Tommy. I ask for your approval to allow Claris to work with Tommy in order to assess the potential benefits a clown could provide in healthcare settings, particularly during the patient education phase.
The success of healthcare initiatives often based on patient-centered environments and understanding the unique needs of young patients. As we strive to improve operations at our center and make a positive impact in the healthcare community, I trust that this trial could serve as an innovative approach towards enhancing patient experience.
Your collaboration and approval are crucial for this initiative to proceed. Please let me know your thoughts and if you are in agreement with this trial.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Warm regards,
[Your Name]
