Provide Exceptional Care by Reshaping your Healthcare Culture

2018 Fall Conference
October 17-19, 2018
Charleston Marriott | Charleston, SC

Britt Berrett, PhD, FACHE, and the co-author of Patients Come Second: Leading Change by Changing the Way You Lead, is bringing his game-changing program to the Fall Conference in October. Dr. Berrett will teach us how to understand our practice’s healthcare culture. He will show us how to identify our culture, learn from it and ultimately shape it to provide the best care possible to our patients.

Here’s what Dr. Berrett will be presenting in October:

• General Session:
  Patients Come Second: Leading Change by Changing the Way You Lead – Part I
  Thursday, October 18th, 8:00 am – 9:30 am
  How did we get here? We are told that “culture eats strategy” but what does that mean? What is the “culture” of a healthcare organization? We will discuss the cultural dynamics in healthcare and the historical context of evolution. Personal stories will be shared on how the culture of a healthcare organization strengthens or weakens its ability to provide exceptional care.
• General Session:
  Patients Come Second: Leading Change by Changing the Way You Lead – Part II
  Thursday, October 18th, 10:30 am – 11:45 am
  How do you measure culture? Why do some co-workers believe the culture is toxic and others praise its vibrance? There has to be some way to measure organizational culture! This course will introduce the Cultural IQ or CIQ: a tested, self-evaluation tool that organizations can use to identify cultural perceptions. We will also share ideas on how to strengthen the ten dimensions of organizational culture.
• Breakout Session:
  Creating a Culture Development Plan
  Thursday, October 18th, 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
  Time to get into the weeds! How do you develop a vibrant culture? We have gotten past the “Why” and now we are focusing on the “How.” Participate in an interactive workshop that invites an exchange of ideas and experiences. Learn from others and be led to the creation of an organizational culture development plan.
