Changing Culture Ancient Roman Coliseum at dawn
I Am Why
Changing a Culture It s Everyone s Job When a patient and his or her family consider a hospital stay, they think of the person who provided that wow moment. Often, that person is a doctor or a nurse. But it could also be: The friendly intake professional who answered questions about confusing insurance information The dietary worker who brought in a satisfying meal every evening The environmental services tech who made the patient s room sparkle and did so with a smile The pharmacist who came by as the patient was leaving just to make sure all medication instructions made sense The discharge coordinator who called a couple days later to make sure followup doctor appointments were all set Milton Johnson, Chairman & CEO Hospital Corporation of America

Patient Perception Meetings Agenda Connect to Purpose Report Out 90 Day Plan Current Goal Current Performance to Goal Action Items Weekly Summary How many patients touched? What did you learn? What coaching/follow-up is needed? Who did you recognize? What key messages were shared with staff? What do you need from peers to be successful? What ideas do your peers have to help you be successful? I attribute my success to this - I never gave or took any excuse. ~ Florence Nightingale
Patient Perception Meetings Keys to Success All leaders are challenged to have action plans targeted at specific areas where there is opportunity for improvement Discrepancies between assumptions and data are discussed True trust and collaboration among leaders Be the CEO of your unit
