    Study Notes

    Effective Leadership, Team-Working, and Communication in Healthcare

    • Effective leadership in healthcare involves demonstrating evidence, leading by example, motivation, positive reinforcement, buy-in, delegation of tasks, commonality of purpose, team member development, visibility, humor, and diffusion of responsibility.
    • Team-working in healthcare requires a vision, a motivating leader, and team members aligning their personal objectives with the vision to improve patient outcomes and staff working lives.
    • Communication failures contribute to medical mishaps in up to 80% of error cases, and danger areas include serial communication, misleading sound bites, and inadequate briefings and handovers.
    • PACE communication, originally from the aviation industry, helps manage subordinate crew members by establishing a progression of inquiries to reduce risks at each level of the intervention sequence: probing, alerting, challenging, emergency warning.
    • SBAR communication is also used in healthcare to provide a structured way to communicate critical information about a patient's condition.
    • Checklists and standard operating procedures have been recommended in managing critically ill patients and have shown to improve outcomes when introduced along with a cultural change in accepting human fallibility and pre-planning for emergencies.
    • Feedback in healthcare should be based on behavior, given privately, relevant, specific, timely, non-judgmental, and focused on the positive aspects to encourage reflection and improvement.
    • An After Action Review is a facilitated discussion and evaluation used to capture learning from successful or unsuccessful tasks in healthcare to avoid failure and promote future success.
