Slide 7. Engage Physician's Intellect
- Show them
- The evidence
- Your hospital’s CLABSI rates
- What others have achieved
- That you can do the same

- Caring
- Keep patients as your “North Star,” your focus
- Preventable harm is not acceptable
- Tell your own Josie story
- Competent
- Learn from mistakes and implement teamwork tools
- Demonstrate early successes/project results
Slide 9. Physician Engagement Strategies
- Management level
- Identify physician champion for project
- Unit director, chief medical officer, or senior physician
- Someone other physicians look up to
- Reward physician champions for their efforts
- Obtain hospital support for their time
- Feature in newsletters
- Provide opportunities to present to senior leaders
- Identify physician champion for project
Slide 10. Physician Engagement Strategies
- Management level (continued)
- Create a compact (agreement)
- Clearly define what is expected of physicians
- Review performance regularly
- Create a compact (agreement)
Slide 11. Example: Physician Champion Compact
- Hospital will provide support for percent of physicians’ time
- In return, physician will
- Monitor and improve quality
- Implement CUSP and CLABSI toolkit
- Hold regular meetings with team
- Involve other members of medical staff in quality
- Report CLABSI rates and learning from defects results to senior leaders and board
Slide 12. Example: Physician Champion Compact
- Further, the physician will
- Work with hospital to clarify what will be measured, who will measure it, and who will produce reports
- Meet quarterly to discuss progress
Slide 13. Physician Engagement Strategies
- Staff level
- Create containing vessel (environment) to have a dialogue with physicians (eliminate decoding errors)
- M and M, grand rounds, quality meetings, etc.
- Identify and overcome barriers to engagement
- Clinician, intervention, system
- Try physician engagement self-diagnostic tool (safercare.net)
- Create containing vessel (environment) to have a dialogue with physicians (eliminate decoding errors)
Slide 14. Physician Engagement Strategies
- Staff level (continued)
- Communicate prior to start of project
- No surprises
- Who, what, when, where, how
- Listen to those who resist/value the dissenter
- Create mechanisms to feed results back to physicians
- Communicate prior to start of project
Slide 15. Handling Barriers to Change
- Tune in to WIFM (What’s In It For Me?)
- People resist loss, not change
- Try to surface and mitigate real and perceived loss
- Physician’s time is likely a major concern
- Perceived losses often much greater than real loss
- Perceived loss high when communication is low
Slide 16. Manage Communication
- At each step or meeting
- Clarify message
- Determine who needs to know
- Make time for feedback
- Assume that all staff have patient as their “North Star”
- Remind staff they are participating in something greater – “Ohana”
Slide 17. Action Plan
- Cultivate a physician champion for this project
- Create compact for physician champion role
- Create containing vessel for communication
- Develop communication plan for CUSP education
- Listen to physicians to surface and mitigate loss
