Where Does Patient Safety Begin? Earning Trust By Becoming Patient Driven Leaders
Brian Wong, MD, CEO, The Bedside Trust

Connecting how you lead to what matters most to patients.

To build patient trust and overcome your organizational challenges, your leadership team needs to realize their roles as team members. Along with leadership, everyone in the organization requires straightforward, essential leadership and business skills that deliver the perspective that their roles greatly affect how they can best serve their patients.

Our Discovery Forum will:

• Analyze and determine our foremost patient care challenges.
• Uncover what our current state costs our patients.
• Learning how to determine the root cause of our safety challenges and the concept of "Community Intelligence," as an organizational solution.
• Supplying the clarity and wherewithal to distinguish between symptomatic safety issues and foundational problems...and securing the understanding and experience to develop curative countermeasures.
• Identifying the structure needed to ensure countermeasure effectiveness.

Your leadership team/physicians will acquire substantive knowledge and buy-in for the relationship between role and job, and understand that gaining patient trust depends on instituting this knowledge organization-wide, and that patient trust is the first step to improving patient safety. Physicians and leaders will fully understand their roles by learning how to function as T.R.U.S.T.E.D. Colleagues.

This interactive demonstration will leave you with applicable knowledge to bring back and implement in your community. Our sessions go a step further by providing you with a web/phone based follow-up forum to help ensure implementation.

Patient Driven Leadership

Join Dr. Brian Wong of The Bedside Trust for a Discovery Forum aimed at designing concrete, actionable leadership tactics. After years as an executive coach, physician executive and consultant, Dr. Wong has identified the essential skills fundamental to leadership success, and how to leverage them into effective strategies.

At sessions end, you'll have re-prioritized your role and job as a leader, become a better organizational diagnostician, and have the tools to find the root causes of current and upcoming challenges.
