Looking at the bottom of your paper, you have buddies.
Rachelle's orienting to charge today. Yay Rachelle!
We probably should have a sense of that
before pharmacy starts sending out supplies that we can't access
So we'll get a pulse check, so when you're on the unit, ask it to see if it's on the carts.
For the psych consult process, this has to do with one-to-one sitters
and evals. The discussion was brought up yesterday. Do we have any updates
needed today from anyone in the group?
And actually Kathy can you send out a five five five now?
You know with this
process we are problem-solving in real time and if we're able to ensure that
our staff are well taken care of through the huddle process, that we are making
sure that they have the necessary supplies, the necessary medications to deliver.
We want to make sure that all the units have the equipment on their carts.
We're ensuring a better patient experience.
The Department of Medicine admitted 38.
We've really focused on kind of identifying patient safety events.
Things that would kind of impede the flow or impede patient care.
I think it's also been a good way of making us accountable for being timely with
addressing medication safety issues so our staff know that the incident reports
get reviewed on a daily basis and we need to follow up on them in a timely
manner and we're held to account on that because we come back to huddle the next
day and we need to be able to report back on what changes have been made.
We sent out a five five five page...
At first, I have to be honest, we were all like
what is this, what is it going to mean for us, but it really has helped with
information and everybody receiving the same messaging and I think people are
feeling more satisfied that the things that they're bringing forward are going
to the people that can actually help.
I've seen it's more proactive.
We're thinking about the day ahead and it's really nice to see
everyone jumping on trying to figure out
what they can do yesterday to prepare for today.
When we rolled out the safety huddle, we were
really wanting to make sure that we removed barriers and/or fixed problems
as quickly as possible and what we've seen is people rise to the occasion when
they hear a issue or concern and say I've got that, that's what I do, that's my expertise.
Teams are empowered to speak directly to us about their concerns and
we are charged with really responding to them to help them manage those
situations and I think that has made all the difference in the world.
It also continues to build a culture of safety and trust that I think all of our
team members really appreciate.
I'm really glad you're here.
I think it's a great way to communicate, I think it's a great way to focus on the needs of the
unit and it's also a great way to say good job.
I think it was pretty apparent
from the moment we started this process how beneficial it was for us to
participate, to give us a voice, to be making decisions to being able to get
immediate feedback.
Healthcare is serious. There's tragedies and miracles every
single day, we see some really tough stuff. It's nice to start out a day
recognizing and doing gratitude but also laughing with colleagues and having
a good time and starting out the day in that environment. We're seeing a lot more
laughter and collegiality and collaboration through this process--
Everyone is invited.
--which is nice, I think often we spend more time with
people here at work than we go home and so we're seeing our family bond here
strengthened through the huddle process.
