| Abstract: Clinical settings, as with any organization, face their own set of unique challenges and opportunities. Whether you’re a new clinician or a veteran leader there are going to be some habits you’re trying to get rid of and new habits you’re trying to build. Building safe, ethical, and practical habits in your particular clinical setting can lead to demonstrable value, and ensuring your management systems are sustainable and replicable can change your culture and impact growth. The purpose of this address is to discuss safety in the context of organizational culture and multi-level management solutions, while offering tips for sustainable clinical safety systems. |
