Making the Standard Explicit | Curious Now #24

from The Center for Medical Simulation · host Center for Medical Simulation

This week, Jenny and James discuss how organizations, not just individuals, can have hidden or implicit standards that are not spoken aloud. We look at how a tool like the new Advocacy Inquiry Rubric, or AIR, can help make excellent performance visible, learnable, and repeatable, and how explicit standards help us target what actually matters in performance and what we want to move toward as a shared goal. Workout of the Week: When you detect an implicit standard, say it out loud and make it explicit (but be sure to own that this is your perspective!). For example, “I believe that our standard in this unit is that if we need blood drawn from a patient, we start a new draw rather than using an existing IV.” #healthcaresimulation #nursing #medicine #debriefing Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-center-for-medical-simulation/id1279266822 Leadership Coaching from Jenny Rudolph: https://harvardmedsim.org/personal-leadership-coaching-with-jenny-rudolph/
