  • 1.  For Your Learning Friday: Establishing Critical Connections in Times of Crisis

    Posted 10-23-2020 12:21:00 PM

    Last week, leaders in GME, in partnership with other leaders within their academic medical center, joined us for a webinar to share their integrated approach to managing this era of crisis by forming strategic collaborations across healthcare professions and systems. In sharing critical knowledge and expertise, the panelists recommend that leaders take these actionable steps and establish a collaborative culture that facilitates success even in challenging times: 

    • Be visible and intentional about building a culture of transparency; aligning teams with a patient-centric focus will inspire new actions and behaviors to improve health outcomes.
    • Commit to a shared vision and mission; actively listen and build trust in establishing new relationships and rebuild bridges to break down functional barriers and siloes.
    • Establish and disseminate a robust communication strategy with teams across the network.
    • Navigate and lead a path forward; create a culture of gratitude, inclusivity, and collaboration. 

    A recording of the webinar is available for playback here.
