Hospitals commonly use huddles to create staff alignment on a wide range of operational, clinical, and other topics and functions. However, not all huddles are delivering the desired effect of lasting impact and full staff engagement. Experts agree that one fundamental requirement of creating a safety culture is having a preoccupation with safety built into every workday.  

In the latest Key In To Quality podcast, entitled “Improving Safety Culture and Solving Problems Through Daily Huddles,” Jennifer Cowart, M.D., patient safety officer and hospitalist, Mayo Clinic Florida, shares her experience with building culture of safety through deliberate, strategic, and persistent hard work. Dr. Cowart has dedicated much of her career to improving safety culture at Mayo Clinic and other institutions. She provides useful insights on and practical recommendations for implementing daily huddles that foster trusting relationships, build leadership skills, and engage team members in creating safety culture.  

The session is ideal for health care leaders, patient safety and quality leaders and staff, clinical practice leaders, and nursing leaders and staff.
