  1. The African Queen … A lesson in (1) collaboration, (2) history … the African stage during World War 1, and (3) citizenship. Grade 7 Social Studies Tuesday, March 4

  2. Lesson Objectives … • The student will be able to : • identify the key elements in building a strategy for productive communication between (1) students, and (2) between a student and his or her teacher. • understand how two vastly different different people can bridge their differences to achieve objectives and goals. • build a culture of long-term cooperation between (1) students, and (2) the student and teacher.

  3. The African Queen • Rose Sayer – Missionary • Her priorities : religion, proper English values, elegance, doing the right thing, “God and Country”, spinster • Charlie Allnut – Local Trader • His priorities : pragmatic, making money, drinking, having fun in a manly manner, “me, myself and I”, freedom of choice - autonomy

  4. What do they have in common? • Both forced onto a small boat, The African Queen, to escape the German invasion. • Both forced to come to terms with each other as they faced external threats – Germans, the river, drought, the Luisa. • Both learn to appreciate each other – fall in love, risk their lives willingly, commit to a higher goal, and succeed.

  5. Defining the issues … • Hospital Administration and Medical Staff, different incentives, different priorities, are facing an external force to undertake a major mission – CPOE. • Is the external force appropriate and legitimate? • Yes – safety, quality, efficiency, variation • Will CPOE help? • Yes – handwriting, transmission speed, pharmacy checks, order sets and quality, efficiency

  6. Defining the issues … How major is CPOE as a mission? Major - change in work flow of patient care, change in method (paper to computer), time consuming, cost (hardware, software, teaching, coverage, updates), involuntary

  7. Working together … Rose and Charlie would have fought among themselves and been killed or captured by the Germans, starved to death on the river, died from the leeches, or drowned – never getting close to sinking the Luisa. What in the culture of a hospital could support collaboration rather than disaster?

  8. Requirements for success … 1. Broad quality and safety program • Forthright peer review at department, medical staff and Board of Trustee level; • Aggressive pursuit of quality/safety agenda pre-problem, post-problem • Clear resolution of conflict policy

  9. Requirements for success … • Transparency • Group decision-making • Role of Chairs • Role of President of Medical Staff, CMO, PHO, Med. Dir. • Joint Trustee Staff • Board of Trustees (20% M.D. membership)

  10. Requirements for success … • Communication • Gang of 9 • ECMS • Medical Staff Meetings • Community Letter • Town Hall Meetings • Access – email, talk, rounding

  11. Requirements for success … • Management Structure • IS, IS/MD • CMO, PHO, Medical Directors • IS Committee • CPOE Implementation Committee • Vendor Responsiveness • Budget Contingency for emerging programming, coverage

  12. Requirements for success … • Clearly defined roles for: • Hospital staff • Hospitalists • PA’s • 6. Key leadership role of primary care • 7. Moving past control by secrecy, favoritism, financial power, “autonomy” of self-interest • 8. Some blind courage

  13. Conclusion … Many missions lie ahead as students, members of our family, and citizens of our home country. As a student and as a member of this class, what are the advantages for us to be more like Rose and Charlie?
