Today, host Mark Graban asks Rhonda the connections between treating everybody with dignity and respect and organizational excellence. What does dignity and respect look like on daily basis? How do inequity and racial injustice affect the workplace, patients, and caregivers? How does that impact continuous improvement? How does the aim of a world-class workforce lead to excellence in the delivery of care? We end with Rhonda sharing what she has learned that has been surprising over the past five months.
