Description

This highly interactive workshop session will offer facilitated breakout discussions for affinity groups addressing critical characteristics of high-reliability organizations and explore the use of tools and resources presented during the two presentation sessions. Discussions will focus on application of the tools, techniques, and strategies to the wicked problems of medication safety and the larger challenges facing healthcare organizations in the current turbulent climate of change and fiscal pressure. Participants will use exercises and cases to establish preliminary plans for exporting these concepts into their daily practice. Schedule

  • Describe how to apply critical thinking and change management skills to contemporary "wicked messes" resulting from the prevailing healthcare financial environment.
  • Develop a personal action plan for recognizing and applying leadership strategies and tactics, and critical thinking skills needed in complex environments.
  • Evaluate the potential impact of critical practice issues and organizational culture within your organization and apply leadership principles to develop organizational strategies for success.
