Health Services Today
• Chronically busy
• Stressful
• Fatigue
• Cynicism
• High turnover
• Little follow through
• Accreditation
• Projects
• Restructures 2
What does effective quality look like??
• The million dollar question
• Easy to establish audits and checklists for components
• Somewhat harder to implement the components and processes
• Much harder to measure
• Much much harder to have an effective quality culture
3
Typically find
• An established policy system – voluminous, not current, contradictory
• Immature Risk Management approaches – no linkages, closure, resolution
• Incident and complaint reporting with some management• Indicators collected and some degree of benchmarking –
often silo based• Accreditation processes – ad hoc, reactive, centrally
controlled• Established OHS systems often driven by a need to reduce
workers compensation premiums• A staff development program• A poorly linked and often ineffective committee structure

Lessons• Ineffective organisational structures• Poor lines of responsibility• Absent monitoring of patient safety/quality• No effective adverse event reporting / response system• Poor supervision of junior staff• Poor communication skills/processes between health professionals,
departments, facilities and with patients and families• Over emphasis on fiscal matters• Poor clinical audit systems• Non compliance of staff relating to patient safety systems• Poor communication with patients and families when things went wrong• Professional silos with nurses disempowered• Poor documentation in records• Blame culture• Poor credentialing• Fragmented organisational quality structure• Poor recognition of the concept of clinical accountability• Lack of will to tackle difficult issues.

How does your service rate?
‘Irrespective of the specialty, seven million dollars of careful analysis at any Australian tertiary hospital would have yielded the same conclusions. What lies at the core of the problem are grossly deficient industry standards for quality, safety and efficiency’

What is a positive culture?
• Involvement• Engagement• Consensus• Working together• Understanding of the objectives of “the cause”• Engaging others• Being receptive• Networking• Communicating• Not whinging!
13
How do you fix it?
• Look at yourself – leaders / managers must be personally effective and promote effective workplaces
• Use appropriate tools – content knowledge alone is not enough
14
“ In an increasingly dynamic, interdependent and unpredictable world, it is simply no longer possible for anyone to figure it all out at the top. The old model, ‘the top thinks and the local acts’, must now give way to integrating thinking and acting at all levels. While the challenge is great so is the potential pay off”
Senge ;1990:7
15
Leadership
• The content of leadership hasn’t changed –the context has (Kouzes and Posner)
• Change is a constant
• Often primary role of a leader is to drive change
• Difficult, challenging
• Often tests the best EI
16
What is leadership
• Many definitions, but the majority agree:
– Is a process
– It involves influence
– It occurs in the group context (leaders and followers)
– It is about goal attainment
– It is about motivating & influencing people to work towards shared goals.
17
How do you do it?
• Use a toolkit
• Be personally effective
• Manage change
• Know where you are and where you need to be – performance monitoring

21Bridges Transitional Change Model
Transitions
• Change is situational: the new site, the new boss, the new team roles, the new policy.
• Transition is the psychological process people go through to come to terms with the new situation.
• Once you understand that transition begins with letting go of something, you have taken the first step in the task of transition management.
22
23
Mobilising for Change
• Each person has to be able to connect with the change message
• The connection has to be deep enough to inspire action
• Much of that motivation will come from emotions
• Negative emotions can often outweigh positive ones

Personal Effectiveness
• 4 main components– Knowing who you are and where you are heading– Time management– Stress management– Skills base
Getting the results you want in a way thatenables you to get even greater results in the future – sustainable and balanced success
(Covey)
Knowing who you are
• Requires a high level of Emotional Intelligence
When I finally understood that emotions run the show, it was unquestionably the single greatest
breakthrough of my career(James Loehr (1997) Stress for Success)
29
Definition
• Emotional intelligence (EI) refers to the ability to perceive, control, and evaluate emotions.
• Salovey & Mayer: “We define emotional intelligence as the subset of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one's own and others' feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide one's thinking and actions.”
• Some researchers suggest that emotional intelligence can be learned and strengthened, while other claim it is an inborn characteristic.
30
What does emotion do?
• We use them as clues as to where we sit in the world
• They enable us to evaluate our needs and desires – feedback mechanisms
• The direct our efforts and interactions
• The can work for us – or against us
• The promote creativity and productivity
• They can adversely affect the workplace culture
31
Relevance
• It is EQ that will predict role performance more than IQ
• Depression will soon become the reason for more lost work days than any other
• Burnout is often from the workplace not the work
• 2/3 of all stress related problems result from abusive, unsatisfying, limiting or ill-defined relationships
• Doctors who lack empathy get sued more 32
Why is it important
• “We are being judged by a new yardstick: not just by how smart we are, or by our training and expertise, but also by how well we handle ourselves and each other.” (Goleman, 1998)
• The good thing is - emotional competence is “a learned capability based on emotional intelligence that results in outstanding performance at work” (Goleman, 1998).
33
Components of EI
• Knowing your emotions
• Managing your own emotions
• Motivating yourself
• Recognising and understanding other people’s emotions
• Managing relationships, ie. managing the emotions of others
34
Assessing EQ
• Exercise
• Complete the following questionnaire
• 1 = almost never, 5 = almost always
• Place your answers to each question in box
• Total each column
35
Results
• Scores between 20 and 35 indicate a high EQ for that category
• 14 – 19 indicate average EQ
• 5 – 13 indicate low EQ
• What are your top three strengths?
• What are your three weaknesses?
• What do you need to do?
• Complete running sheet 36
Personalities
• Personality refers to the emotion, thought, and behaviour patterns unique to an individual.
• Personality influences one's tendencies, such as a preference for introversion or extroversion.
• EQ influences how personalities are displayed

Exercise
• Circles the words that most reflect who you are most of the time

Finally
• It is incumbent on all those who work in health to recognise the inherent riskyness of what they do and live up to their duty of care to ensure the safest and highest quality of care at all times (O’Neill, C 2009)
• Clinical governance is a shared responsibility –it is core business – it is health service management
