Insight 26: Nurse Voices Are Closing the Gap Between Work Imagined and Work Done

What if the biggest risk to patient safety in your organization is a broken communication loop? When one of the nation's largest health systems conducted its first National Action Plan assessment, leaders expected to find gaps in the process. What they didn't expect was to find gaps in communication and assumptions held at the top that didn't match the reality on the ground.  In this Insight from Episode 127: Safer Together | From Plan to Practice, Kelly Randall, Vice President for Patient Safety and Compliance at Ascension, walks us through the honest, sometimes uncomfortable conversations that revealed hard truths, and the intentional communication strategy that brought healthcare teams back into alignment around one shared goal: zero preventable harm.
