Every coach with a clinical background has a patient who has made a significant impact on his or her life--one who, while in the role of patient, has been the teacher. Ray* was that patient for me.
There are dozens of statistics on healthcare turnover. Regardless of which figure one cites, they all point to the fact that adequate staffing is a serious issue affecting providers everywhere. It is not going to be getting any easier in the foreseeable future. There are a number of important elements to consider for a good retention strategy—this article does not attempt to explore them all. Instead, it focuses on what your organization can do to be proactive and stay ahead of the curve so your best employees stay your best employees—and don’t become someone else’s.
The biggest obstacle to innovation in an organization is fear. Fear limits a leader and keeps him or her from creating ideas or finding solutions that could positively alter or change the workplace. As a patient experience coach, I have spoken to many leaders who have great ideas but remain silent.
No area has been so ignored in the push for healthcare reform as the need to prepare and position physicians to succeed—in their careers in the face of great changes, and as leaders and partners in changing the way care is delivered. The demands on physicians are changing at an unprecedented rate.
GHS faced the challenge of managing onboarding and compliance for its transient, non-employed staff—students, faculty, interns, contracted and agency staff, volunteers, affiliate physicians, and allied health professionals, who all needed orientation but were not officially employed by GHS. The hospital reduced training time for contracted new hires to 48 hours, allowing staff to be on the floor faster, resulting in cost savings by reducing staffing needs.
For healthcare organizations, retention is critical in achieving patient-centered excellence. When retention suffers, the impact is felt across many hospital strategic priorities. Many organizations create a strategic goal around retention or employee turnover; however, retention matters, not in and of itself, but because of the outcome the goal produces.
The world of the post-acute care resident and family is the focus of much debate these days, but no one can debate the need for the care that these residents so richly deserve. Often this care is an indicator of employee engagement and commitment. Care providers interact with families who face fears, issues of safety, courtesy, respect and failure to meet expectations every day. How do you best address residents and families entering your facility with these fears?
Performance appraisal and competency assessment fall into the same basic family, but they also have some differences. Performance appraisal often refers to the overall employee evaluation
There has never been a time in our history with greater focus or energy on how patients are experiencing their care. In a recent Beryl Institute study, 70% of CEOs identified the patient experience as being among their top three priorities for organizational excellence and success.

Appreciative questions are a simple and effective way to inspire people and reinforce desired behavior. They can put a positive spin on huddles, staff meetings or during casual rounds with staff.
I get many questions from people about how detailed to get when writing a healthcare competency statement. Should you write a competency statement and then add a sub-set of details that reflect all the skill aspects of that competency or details that describe the steps of a given procedure? The answer to this is, “Not necessarily.”
AHA Instructor Essentials courses are new online courses that have replaced the AHA Core Instructor Course, which has been discontinued. The Instructor Essentials courses are a required step to become an AHA Instructor, to add a discipline, and for all AHA Faculty.
Patient rounds can have unexpected benefits when a few simple techniques are followed. Over time, as I began to refine my approach, I got better results: I noticed that patients became reassured and felt safer, I got meaningful staff compliments, and I learned useful ideas to make care even better because patients felt more comfortable sharing.
Summer is here, and many of us have a vacation planned in the near future. If you are anything like me (a planner!), you are making lists, buying new outfits, and coordinating activities to ensure a wonderful vacation.
