Creating a Shared Vision

19

The “Why”

• A Shared Vision establishes “why” we do what we do.• It allows us to know what is on the horizon, and what

direction we are going.• It shapes our decisions.

20

Shared Vision Empowers Teams

• Each team member knows what they can do to support the vision. They trust they can act toward a mutual purpose.

• Each department has their own way to offer support and can set their own goals to support the work. Dining teams may have their own way of supporting the vision, nursing another. The work expands!

• We become aligned.• We are all moving the same direction.

21

Benefits of a Shared Vision for anInterdisciplinary, Person Centered Team

• Creates extra support for patients. Improves consistency/frequency of responses by growing the skills of your team members

• A chance to learn about your team. The breadth of their skills may surprise you!

• Solutions come from all directions. Dining team or maintenance crew may have just the skills you need to succeed at meeting your goals!

• It’s not “just a nursing thing!” It’s not “just an activities thing!” A shared vision takes off the badges and puts the patient experience back in the center of care. It improves staff engagement and job satisfaction and connects a team in a new and meaningful way.

22

High Performing TeamMultiple Approaches

23

Person Centered Care is the Hub of Decision Making

• Establish Shared vision, mutual purpose • Learn more about individual team members’

strengths and styles, and how these form a team.

• Train leadership, teach communication, cultivate respect for diverse styles and skills. Develop your people. They are your greatest resource!

• Create an environment where people feel safe speaking out, reviewing a process as a team, and learning new things! (Communication work shops/ground rules.)

• Select the team building tools with the most validity. We are open to evidence based practice when treating a patient. Why not be as conscientious about our approaches to build teams and improve quality? There is a great deal of science behind the tools supported by CMS to improve quality.
