What Hospital Leaders say...
Steve was the pioneer in applying proven methods and techniques used from high-reliability industries such as aviation and space to the health care environment.
His coaching has helped more than 250 organizations make dramatic, sustainable improvements like these from Memorial Healthcare System:
“ Our current patient treatment setup and delivery process have eliminated all treatment deviations. Our practices have identified situations where ambiguity or conflicting documentation could have resulted in inappropriate treatment or treatment inefficiencies. Our staff members have developed an extraordinary sense of teamwork combined with a high degree of personal responsibility to assure patient safety and have spoken up when they considered something potentially unsafe. We have increased our efficiency (and profitability); in 2012, our units of service were up 11.3% over 2009 levels with the same staffing level.”
