2009 Leadership Standards: A Foundation for Safety
Oct. 16, 2008, 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (USA)
In 2009, changes in the Joint Commission’s Leadership standards become effective with a greater emphasis on patient safety. The new Leadership standards are organized according to four pillars, which support effective performance: Leadership Structure; Leadership Relationships; Organization Culture; and Performance and Operations.
This program will focus on the four pillars, providing specific content for each, including: getting the board actively involved in quality and safety activities, organizational structures for patient safety, communicating leadership’s vision for safety, managing conflict, developing a culture of safety and using quality and safety data.
At the end of the workshop, attendees will be able to:
- Identify the new Leadership standards for 2009
- Describe strategies for strengthening leadership’s role in patient safety
- Design organizational structures to improve patient safety
- Design communication strategies for engaging the governing board to focus on patient safety
- Discuss leaders’ responsibilities for establishing a culture of safety
