Grand Rounds:
Silence Kills: The
Seven Crucial Conversations for Healthcare
This Forum for Healthcare Learning & Excellence's Grand
Rounds will feature Emily Moss, MD, of VitalSmarts L.C.
Description: When healthcare professionals see
problems—dangerous shortcuts, dangerous mistakes, incompetence, poor
initiative, poor teamwork, disrespect, or abuse of authority—we
expect them to speak up. However, fewer than 20% do speak up when
they see these problems, as identified in the Silence Kills
research conducted by VitalSmarts™ and the American Association of
Critical Care Nurses. This presentation will help you learn to share
information safely, get ideas and feelings out in the open, and
maintain high levels of respect—all without causing resistance or
resentment. Discover a model that truly helps individuals, teams
and organizations get unstuck and achieve breakthrough results.
About the speaker: Dr. Moss is Master certified in
both Crucial Conversations® and Crucial Confrontations™ Training,
and lends her extensive background to assist major corporations and
leading healthcare facilities become measurably more vital by
practicing and implementing the high-leverage skills of top
performers.
With a medical degree and professional experience in the medical
field, Dr. Moss consults and trains leading healthcare institutions
including UMass Memorial Health Care, Endo Pharmaceuticals, the
National Library of Medicine, and the American Association of
Critical Care Nurses (AACN). She has also facilitated Crucial
Confrontations Training to healthcare organizations and written and
produced more than 200 consumer health information pieces for the
National Library of Medicine.
