Leadership Day is a full-day annual health care executive peer-to-peer interactive program that features highly placed faculty and is specifically designed to provide C-Suite and Board attendees with cutting-edge patient safety leadership strategies and tactics that will improve operational and financial performance. This year’s session will take on the critical issues of sustainability and culture change, which continue to challenge leadership as all seek to redesign operations for safer and higher-quality care, a better patient experience and lower costs — the essence of the triple aim.

Establishing and continually reinforcing a safety culture to provide the context for sustainable safety improvements demands an effective model for staff engagement and motivation and accountability. Beginning with new thinking and a framework for balancing systems and individual accountability, the session will also provide insights into motivating human performance as described through the lens of behavioral economics.

Health care leaders will also share successes and perspectives on the value proposition for improving the patient experience of care, the business case for driving a culture of patient safety, and workforce satisfaction and optimization — all inextricably linked to optimizing human performance and accountability in order to achieve sustained and improved safety, quality, and financial outcomes.
