A doctor yells at a nurse on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, she hesitates to call him to report a subtle change in a patient\u2019s condition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Instead, she reports her concern to the oncoming nurse, who makes it a priority to check with the patient.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the telemetry alarm goes off and the patient dies.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Nurse A overhears Nurse B talking about her in a negative way and interrupts the conversation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI would appreciate that if you have concerns about my work that you discuss them with me directly.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nurse B apologizes and later helps Nurse A get pain medication to her post-op patient quickly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The patient and his wife feel cared for.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The patient experience scores improve.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Emerging behavior<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Emerging behavior refers to how we behave instantaneously and in relationship to others.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To gossip or not, to offer or take in constructive feedback versus avoiding conflict, to speak up or remain silent about a concern are soft skills that are intrinsic in each of the following behaviors:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The nurse assistant who was holding the patient\u2019s hand overnight, when he realized that the patient was uncomfortable and worried.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The surgeon who tells his team that he expects each of them to watch for and report problems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; The social worker who reminds the unit coordinator that the computer system will be down during the evening shift.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The nurse leader who negotiates budget allocations for delegation skill training for nursing staff.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The nurse who shares her insight with the clinical team that a post-op patient\u2019s fear of falling was the reason that she was afraid to walk with the physical therapist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>These soft skills and how they relate to outcomes in health care may be hard to see, but now that you know how to look for them, you\u2019ll spot them more easily.<\/p>\n<p><strong>As you do, you may see or suspect their impact in the workplace.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Did the nurse who hurt her back ask for help?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Was the surgeon receptive to challenges during the wrong-site surgery?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Would the patient have fallen, should the nurse assistant sat with her for a few minutes and listened to her concerns?<\/p>\n<p>Hard-to-measure, yet critical, behavioral soft skills can improve the health care services we provide to our patients, the workplace culture and the rewards of our important work in the health care industry.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.MedicalManage.gr\/en\/\" title=\"MEDICAL management TUTORIAL\">www.MedicalManage.gr\/en\/<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Avoiding human errors in the health care arena is crucial.
