Take Pause

Is it possible that you would be a better person, a better leader, if you had full control over the variables affecting your life? Unfortunately, things like the economy, the weather, traffic remain beyond your ability to change. But you do have control over one important thing: how you respond and react to the stimulus from another human being. Regaining control of this element of your life will make you a better leader in our frenetic world. 
In this webcast, bestselling author Charles Fred will present research showing how stress influences organizational performance and how quickly stress can spread via technology. He will introduce the discipline of pause as a required leadership competency and will explain why you should decide to pause, which could have a profound effect on your life and how you lead.
 
  

The 24-Hour Rule: Leading With the Discipline of Pause for Profound Results

St. Charles Hospital is a 243-bed community hospital and rehabilitation center. Part of the Catholic Health Services of Long Island hospital network, St. Charles has served the community since 1907.The hospital’s healthcare providers use Epic, an electronic health record system (EHR), to communicate patient information such as medical history, diagnoses, and treatment plans. The system contains a specific type of order for nearly every request, from medication to laboratory tests to patient care instructions. For the occasional note or request that does not have an existing order, healthcare providers use a nursing communication order (NCO), which is not routed through the system’s usual channels.In early 2015, NCO was changed to generic procedure order (GPO) in the EHR. It wasn’t long before Andrew Osso, the hospital’s Epic credentialed trainer, and Joan Grothmann, the hospital’s Epic operational lead, noticed that providers were using GPOs more frequently even when an order already existed in the system. This caused delays in patient care because the order, which frequently contained vital patient information, was often invisible to the departments that needed to view it. Osso and Grothmann implemented a performance support initiative to identify and educate providers who used the EHR incorrectly.
