Creating a Culture of Excellence

2-hour session
CME
CEU
as requested

Creating a Culture of Excellence addresses disruptive behaviors, which are defined as repeated, unwanted actions that humiliate, offend and/or cause distress in the recipient. These behaviors remain relatively common in medicine, and healthcare organizations often struggle to address disruptions until a crisis develops. Taking a proactive approach is essential, because disruptive behaviors are linked not only to burnout, but also to turnover, grievances, diagnostic errors, surgical mistakes, and medication errors.
