The Grid Theory and learning methodologies provide limitless opportunities for customization
within a specific industry. Grid Leadership, teamwork, and organization development need only be
a starting place. We can transform or support existing training programs to deliver The
Power to Change.
Building High Performance Teams in Medicine
Medicine is said to rest on two pillars: science and humanism. The text for this seminar
The Power to Change Healthcare, explores the recent challenges of delivering care
and providing patient safety and then outlines some of the broad-reaching issues facing the
medical community in the next decade along with suggestions for addressing them in ways that
honor both the scientific competence and humanism of the people involved.
Patient safety is only one example of the many dramatic changes facing the healthcare industry
in the new millennium. Global healthcare is changing at a frenetic pace. In an effort to keep
up with constant and exponentially changing technology and innovation, the two basic pillars
of medicine, science and humanism, are changing, but in very different ways.
While the scientific pillar of medicine has grown in proactive and dramatic ways, the human
pillar of medicine has evolved more slowly, and in a more reactive way rather than
systematically driving change.
How do you shift the values and beliefs of healthcare professionals so that they openly and
willingly share information? How do you shift the learning models used since medical school
and early education to incorporate open, team-based approaches to learning? How do you
establish sound critique practices so that people maximize the resources that each person brings
to a healthcare team?
Sound teamwork is one critical way to maximize the level of effective and safe patient care.
Common sense dictates that the more people involved, the more chances of catching mistakes,
finding the right diagnosis, and getting all the information out in the open for consideration. But
it also creates opportunities for problems. Personalities clash, decisions get confused or delayed,
or conflict erupts. Many times, the people involved simply don't have adequate team skills or the
experience necessary to apply them effectively and fall back on less effective but well-established
approaches for working in teams.
A key factor in this powerful, three-day seminar design is a videotaped, role-playing, activity that
reveals barriers to candor in medical teams. The videotaped role-playing methodology delivers an
objective and powerful confrontation of the hierarchical cultures prevalent in many medical work
settings.
