Our main work in health care today is helping people move across this valley.

It’s not an easy thing to do yet.

Ask yourself, “What is best for the patient?”

It isn’t complicated.

Introduce yourselves again. Find a doctor. Talk about: What is the medical pattern?

We know our old patterns.We use them all the time.

Our talk today is about –

What might be possible with different patterns?

What if…

At Rounds The patient is there. The family is there. The entire care team

is there. Ordinary language is used. Hierarchy is lowered. greater emphasis is placed on human experiences. People sit at eye level. The pace is different.

There is conversation. There is empathy. An assessment is made, together, in real time. A plan of care is made, together, in real time. Goals are agreed upon. Roles are clarified.

Mutual expectations are made clear. Communications and trust are built.

Mastery =Rich Tacit Knowledge

Collective Tacit Knowledge

of an Entire Team

Social FieldsThe collective intelligence of a care team

…consisting of memories, wisdom, emotions and patterns of interaction…

…arising over time from shared experiences, reflective conversations and team learning.

Social Fields

Accumulating resources people can draw from during their work together…

From a Social Field perspective, the work of transformation involves building exceptional social fields.

Can we do that?

“Of course not.It is impossible.”

Well, what if we…

Co-Locate?

Meet/Reflect/Plan?

Simulate/Practice/Explore?

Start with 1-2 Patients/Grow?

“Exceptional health care…in whichpatients, families, and health professionals are consistently able to co-create care that is meaningful, safe, reliable, resilient, efficient,and exquisitely responsive to the hopes, needs, goals, and purposesof everyone involved."

Daily Reflective Sessions: Themes

Meetings held in workroom every day for 30 minutes. Provides a protected time for team to:

– Reflect on the day’s successes and stumbling blocks– Plan the next day’s activities, make incremental changes

to the model – Communicate plans and ideas across disciplines– Follow up with others on specific patient discussions– Develop and strengthen relationships – Decompress

Daily Reflective Sessions: Evolution of the conversations

We can’t do this!

• “I haven’t seen half of my patients today!”

• “All I can think about is everything else I need to do”

Maybe we can do this…

• “This has cut down on the calls I get from nursing…”

• “I feel so behind when I can’t round with everyone!”

How do we keep doing this?

• “We should work on including family in rounds.”

• “How do we orient new people to this model?”
