MHS Leadership Engagement Toolkit

Training Material
7/14/2016

The Leadership Engagement Toolkit was designed to help healthcare leaders assess gaps in their safety culture, engage key influencers for change, set goals for targeted improvement, implement proven safe practices, and reinforce key behaviors to ensure high-reliability performance for improvement. There are two sets of evidence-based best practices (“strategies”): Executive Leadership and Frontline Physician Leadership. The practices focus on what the practice is, why it is used, and how to implement it. There is also a "How to Guide" that focuses on getting started, equipping leaders as coaches, and making and measuring progress.

DHA Seal

A debrief is a team event aimed at reducing medical error by getting everyone on the team together in order to briefly discuss a procedure or event after it occurs. The goal is to identify what was done correctly, as well as areas in need of improvement. To ensure effectiveness, debriefs are conducted in a safe, non-threatening manner that frames mistakes as learning opportunities instead of failures.
