• Inspirational readings from “Healing with Heart” Martin Helldorfer & Terri Moss
• Huddle can last 5-15 minutes

Critical Care “Huddles”• Critical Care does a “short” report at 0700 and 1900 each day – the
charge nurse gives the whole team an overall picture of the patients and the plan for the shift.
• During this time there is also discussion and sharing of any safety concerns – issues that have arisen from housewide safety huddles, Huddle Highlights, issues from the previous shift, etc.
• This all occurs in 5-7 minutes.• Staff then get bedside report from the off-going RN.• Safety concerns are also posted in bathrooms or communicated 1:1.• Director or designee communicates safety concerns at Leadership
Huddle
29 www.cynosurehealth.org
EGH Safety Net• Frontline safety concerns are escalated to unit
leadership to share at Leadership Safety Huddle.– Knowledge Transfer
• Culture of Safety encourages associates to speak up related to potential or actual safety concerns
• Shift huddles and Leadership Safety Huddle improves communication and teamwork for improved outcomes.
