Workforce & Culture

Through the Eyes of the Workforce: Creating Joy, Meaning, and Safer Healthcare-‐

Lucian Leape Institute-‐NPSF Roundtable Report (2013)-‐http://bit.ly/104KSE4

#medimprov08

Physical Harm

 Health care workforce injuries are 30 times higher than other industries.

“I need help giving this patient a boost in bed”

#medimprov08

Psychological Harm

Lack of respect   A root cause, if not THE root cause, of dysfunctional Cultures

  95% of nurses report it; 100% of medical students; huge issue for patients

#medimprov08

A nurse waits a little too long to report a patient’s increasing blood pressure to a physician. The last time she tried to talk with him about a concern, he was abusive.

Is bullying a problem in healthcare?

No one starts out the day planning to be disruptive. We must recognize the emotional impact and downstream effect of inappropriate behaviors and explore experiential learning methods, like “medical improv” that build the necessary skill sets for positive change.

  Listen-‐be present  Avoid questions  You have everything you need!   Support each other

#medimprov08

Games & AcFviFes (100s more) Yes and…, Yes but…, No…  Teaching/learning: Assertiveness, listening, collaboration, validation/invalidation & reinforces medical improv principle: “Yes and...”
