Teamwork and collaboration are promoted and evident

So my idea is to emphasis on TeamSTEPPS which is a research-based teamwork method that aims to increase communication and collaboration skills, as well as care and safety.

To enable nurse managers to build civic work cultures, there is a need for leadership development. All members of the organization must receive intentional and continuing education focused on raising awareness about incivility, its influence on individuals, teams, and organizations, and, most importantly, its consequences on patient care and safety in order to develop and maintain a healthy workplace. Workplace Environment Assessment

Explain how the theory or concept presented in the article(s) relates to the results of your Work Environment Assessment.

DESC is a component of TeamSTEPPS, an evidence-based teamwork approach that aims to improve communication and teamwork skills, as well as safety and quality of care. The DESC paradigm, combined with mental practice, is a powerful tool for dealing with particular cases of incivility.

It contains  4 steps that addresses incivility

D: Describe the scenario in detail.

E: Expressing about your issues.

S: State a list of other options.

C: Consequences that have been stated.

This steps helps address uncivil workplace encounters

“Hey Kathy, I just got word that Nicole called in sick, so you’ll have to fill in for her.” We’re completely short-staffed, so you’ll have to remain. You may not agree with the decision, but it is what it is.”

Kathy is unable—and, to be honest, unwilling—to work two shifts. She’d planned to spend time with her family this evening, despite her exhaustion. She has also worked three more shifts this month. She decides that instead of scheduling a meeting with Alice later in the week, she needs to deal with this matter right now.

Here’s an example of how she could apply the DESC model with her boss.

“Alice, I understand the need to cover the unit due to Nicole’s illness,” she says. We’re all in agreement that having enough staff is critical for patient care.”

“I’m exhausted, and I’m less prepared to provide safe, high-quality care because I’ve just covered previous shifts,” explain.

“I understand that it is your obligation as manager to ensure that we have appropriate workers for the upcoming shift,” you say. But, because I’m unable to work an additional shift today, I’d like to discuss options.”

“Let’s work together to discuss alternatives for covering Nicole’s shift,” says the consequence. It’s critical that I have a say in decisions that affect me.”

I suppose that if we start listening to one another again, we can transform the world. Simple, honest, human conversation…a chance to speak, be heard, and listen well to each other also be heard, and to listen well to one another rescue the planet in the end.
