Description

Every workplace has a culture, and the Newborn intensive care unit is no different. Staffing is multidisciplinary which brings perspectives that often differ.  To be successful, we need the ability to be responsive to the attitudes and feelings of our colleagues.  Effective communication improves patient outcomes as well as staff satisfaction. And yet communication is often hampered in this acute setting by limited time as well as the diverse backgrounds of the disciplines.  This webinar will focus on helping the participant understand work cultures and what contributes to healthy work environments.  Specific strategies for creating healthy work environments will also be explored.  Case studies are shared to help the participant apply these concepts to their daily work life.  Case studies are drawn from questions that are commonly asked, such as 1) how do I get people to follow feeding plans; 2) How do I get people to respect what I do as a therapist; 3) How do I as a staff nurse effectively communicate with the medical staff so that they listen to me?

Learner outcomes will be assessed with a quiz as well as self-reflection after the course has been completed.
