The huddles started with supply chain leaders but have expanded to food and nutrition services and human resources.
“These regular meetings help us address issues immediately and develop processes to prevent them from recurring,” Shannon Christian, MSN, RN, the hospital’s chief nursing officer and senior vice president of patient care services, told Becker’s.
The huddles have helped prevent potential patient harm and have helped address issues in a timely manner, rather than chasing down emails, she said.
“As the issues decrease, we periodically evaluate the need for the huddles, but the feedback from our teams is to continue them because they find them valuable,” Ms. Christian said.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
