COACHING
By following the Coaching tenet of People-Based Patient Safety™, employees learn how to increase interdependent problem-solving by monitoring their co-workers activities and by providing helpful feedback that supports safe behavior.

C-O-A-C-H is a methold Dr. Geller recommends to enhance the coaching process:

  • Care — Employees must actively care about the people they work with, because they depend on each other to provide quality healthcare.

  • Observe — They must observe the actions of their co-workers to notice errors when they occur.

  • Analyze — They should analyze the actions to determine how they could be done differently to avoid errors.

  • Communicate — The most important step is to communicate with co-workers to discuss concerns and help them avoid mistakes.

  • Help — Finally, they should always be ready to help their coworkers to ensure patients get quality care.
These five steps help build a Total Safety Culture, in which caregivers trust each other and communicate openly about possible errors and close calls.
