PwC's Perform approach builds capability and changes behaviours through an intensive coaching model that helps teams make practical improvements to the way they work day-to-day. Members of the St John of God Midland team talk about Perform, how it has become the way they do things, and the impact if has had on teaming
PwC supports healthcare providers to make a sustainable step change improvement in performance by building the capacity and capability of their staff. Using our Perform methodology we work closely with clinical and management teams to change behaviours and improve teaming which are sustained by digital adoption and effective governance.
This results in improvements in patient and clinician experience, and creates significant capacity which can be used to increase activity, redesign services and reduce costs.

We coach your teams to better utilise their existing technology - enabling better understanding and responsibility for performance, and timely data-driven decisions.
We help your teams develop sustainable solutions to their biggest challenges - ensuring the changes are fully owned and adopted by frontline staff.
We develop robust governance structures and simple accountability frameworks - ensuring teams understand and continually manage their performance with clear roles and responsibilities.
How we do it:
We work alongside clinicians and management to establish a daily rhythm of regular touchpoints to operationally manage the department. This enables them to proactively manage the flow of emergency patients through the hospital.
We work alongside bed management and patient flow teams to proactively manage flow using live bed management tools, cross-functional capacity meetings with clear accountability and effective collaboration with clinical areas.
We coach inpatient teams so that they can recognise and solve their own problems and change the way they operate. This includes having quality MDT meetings, ward rounds and improved collaboration, along with a proactive approach to managing care and discharge planning.
We work with clinical and management teams to connect the end-to-end surgical pathway and establish a coordinated approach to theatre planning and delivery. This enables them to proactively manage the demand for elective and emergency surgery.
