4 4 Berkshire Health Systems Awarded Gold LearningElite Organization by Chief Learning Officer Magazine Matthew Painter, BHS Director of Leadership Development, with this year s LearningElite honor. Berkshire Health Systems has been named a Gold LearningElite organization for 2015 by Chief Learning Officer magazine, published by Human Capital Media (HCM). This is the third straight year BHS has been recognized with a LearningElite award. The LearningElite program is composed of organizations that perform above a benchmark standard for implementing learning and development (L&D) best practices for their workforce. Organizations are ranked based on their execution and impact of these L&D initiatives, and Berkshire Health Systems was ranked 28th in 2015 out of more than 200 applicants. The LearningElite program is the only peer-ranking and benchmarking program of its kind. Developed through a collaboration of chief learning officers, senior workforce development practitioners and the Human Capital Media Research and Advisory Group, it utilizes rigorous evaluation methodologies to objectively assess both the scope and value of participants L&D practices. Every year the number of applications we receive grows, and this year was no exception, said Sarah Kimmel, director of research and advisory services for HCM. While our rigorous metrics and high standard for inclusion in the program remain consistent, we are seeing more organizations striving to surpass the benchmark and qualify. That organizations are increasingly recognizing the importance of L&D in establishing a productive and fulfilled workforce is heartening. Human Capital Media is the largest integrated media company serving the human capital, management and workforce development industries.

5 5 The Quality Zone: Annual Culture of Safety Survey Results By Erin Roark, BS, CPHQ Berkshire Medical Center s 2015 Culture of Safety Survey results have been compiled. In all, 880 staff completed the online survey. The survey included twelve composite sections with 42 questions. As you can see from the snapshot graph, over the past several years BMC has shown great overall improvement. As you know, patient safety is a critical component of healthcare quality. Achieving a culture of patient safety requires an understanding of: The values, beliefs, and norms about what is important in an organization What attitudes and behaviors related to patient safety are supported, rewarded, and expected Here is what you told us about our safety culture: Patient Safety Culture Composites - BMC Comparison from FY BMC FY 2012 BMC FY 2014 BMC FY to 2015 # Respondents Frequency of Events Reported 47% 50% 70% 23% Teamwork Within Units 62% 68% 79% 17% Management Support for Patient Safety 51% 64% 67% 16% Teamwork Across Units 40% 48% 56% 16% Feedback & Communication About Error 50% 59% 64% 14% Org Learning--Continuous Improvement 54% 58% 67% 13% Communication Openness 53% 61% 63% 10% Overall Perceptions of Patient Safety 55% 62% 62% 7% Supervisor/Manager Expectations & Actions Promoting Patient Safety 65% 72% 72% 7% Nonpunitive Response to Error 38% 47% 40% 2% Handoffs & Transitions 30% 36% 30% 0% Staffing 50% 52% 43% -7% Average Across Composites 50% 56% 59% 9% Top 2 Positive Responses (strongly agree/agree or always/most of the time) The Quality Management Team of BMC reviews all comments and results internally and with appropriate team(s) and senior leader(s).

7 7 Diversity Includes You Focus: Unconscious Bias and Ableism Unconscious bias is an automatic reaction to someone based on a past life experience, either positive or negative. Unconscious biases are habits of mind that are learned over time through repeated experiences and are highly resistant to change. Even consciously inclusive people may hold negative stereotypes and attitudes for which they are not fully aware.* Examples of Ableism include: Treating people with disabilities as if they have an illness Avoiding people with disabilities Focusing on the disability and not the person Assuming that people with disabilities are unhappy Talking about people with disabilities as if they are objects Speaking directly to a family member, friend, or caregiver of the person with a disability instead of speaking with the actual individual Speaking for someone with disabilities when they can speak for themselves Dismissing mental and emotional disabilities Not taking the time to learn about the abilities of a person with respectful, timely questions Unconscious biases hurt. Become aware of your unconscious biases. *Reference: Burgess D., van Ryn M., Dovidio, J., Saha S. Reducing Racial Bias Among Healthcare Providers: Lessons from Social-Cognitive Psychology. Journal of General Internal Medicine. Don t forget to share your diversity story, no matter what your perspective, in our Diversity survey on the employee portal.

8 8 Thanks and Recognition Words alone cannot fully express our sincere gratitude and appreciation for the outpouring of love, kindness and generosity that we received during our recent family crisis. After Bob s horrific accident on May 2nd, our family was blessed with wonderful cards, encouraging phone calls and very generous donations of earned time from so many friends, which enabled Bob to receive a weekly paycheck while he is recovering. I don t know who you are, but please accept our sincere appreciation. And, as if this wasn t enough, on July 11, a golf tournament at Bas Ridge organized by Gilles Laframboise was held in his honor. We would also like to thank all the people involved, from friends, volunteers, businesses who gave donations, players and our BMC family for taking the time out of their busy lives to make this event a huge success. We are very grateful to have friends like you you definitely brightened our world more than you will ever know- from the bottom of our hearts, thank you all. Thank you to BMC/BHS staff from Bob and Sandy Wheat Always the best care. We are so grateful to have Fairview around the corner. Comment from a Fairview Hospital patient Considerate care was given by all staff, and the residents and/or interns were very helpful with questions. Operating room personnel were very good. Technicians doing procedures were helpful also. Comment from a BMC 2 South patient I rarely submit feedback, but in this case I was treated so well that I want you to know how much I appreciate everyone's efforts. I was treated like a human being, with respect and care. Thank you. Comment from a BMC Women s Imaging Center patient All nurses on the 3rd and 5th floors were absolutely fabulous and very compassionate to your needs. The wound nurses should always be recognized, they also are special and caring. They helped me so much. Love to all the staff at BMC. Comment from a BMC Surgical Services patient From beginning to end and everywhere in between, everyone did an outstanding job. This included taking care of my friend while she waited to hear how I made out. When the time comes to do my left knee I will be back to see Dr. Kevin Mitts and BMC. Comment from a BMC Orthopedic Unit patient Chaplain s Corner: What is a Miracle? By The Reverend Art Kaufman, BMC Chaplain So often we exclaim, upon seeing something out of the ordinary or an outcome that was extraordinary, It s a miracle. But what is a miracle? Here are a few answers to that question: The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common; Life is a miracle and you are a unique expression of this purposeful miracle. Ralph Waldo Emerson I prefer these definitions as opposed to attributing miracles to God or Allah, or Jehovah or Yahweh when something really, really good and unexpected happens, or to something else or someone else when the outcome is not so good. I do this because I believe that each and every one of you are miracle workers and that every time you walk into a patient s room or the OR or ER, regardless of the outcome, your skills, compassion and empathy work miracles in the lives of the people you care for in this hospital of ours. In Memoriam Linda M. Green, who worked in medical records at Williamstown Commons Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, died on July 12th at the age of 59. Doris E. Carmain, who worked in the pharmacy of the former North Adams Regional Hospital, now the Northern Berkshire Campus of BMC, died on July 16th at the age of 84. She worked for NARH for 12 years. The staff of Berkshire Health Systems offers its deepest condolences to their friends and family.
