Leadership
• TPOV Teachable Point of view
– Use data – Surgery conversation is going on now.
– Use stories – Clinicians hospitalized.
• Service Agreements
– Clinicians won’t automatically believe this is important to do or worry about being specific
• SNF transitions – work with SNF’s
– Initially one SNF had 0/10 requested elements consistently at transition.
