Another insightful blog from my colleague Tanya Clover on Dementia Care Mapping™ (DCM™)! Here are some powerful takeaways that resonated with me: 📊 In simple terms, our data shows that we have listened, tried harder, done better. 🪞 What struck me most was the metaphor of DCM™ as a mirror to our care settings - reflecting the unvarnished truth of what's really happening, not just what we believe is happening. As the blog beautifully puts it: 💫 "If we are to use the reflection to make change, it must be a true reflection, without distortion or bias. We must accept its truth, warts and all." 💡 These words remind us that real improvement in dementia care starts with honest observation and the courage to embrace what we see - both the successes and the areas needing change. #DementiaCare #Healthcare #QualityImprovement #PersonCentredCare #DCM #ProfessionalDevelopment What are your thoughts on using observation tools to improve care quality? https://lnkd.in/gUgj-xgK
