  • It’s been said that “teamwork makes the dream work.” Eric Siebeneck, performance improvement advisor, our guest on this episode of the Mayo Clinic Key in to Quality podcast, agrees with this when it comes to healthcare organizations working to improve quality of care delivery. However, often the responsibility is siloed and even shouldered by one or two individuals. Collaboration, particularly with clinicians, is critical to achieving rapid and lasting performance improvement. According to Eric the key to effective and lasting change is in an organization’s culture. At Mayo Clinic, he facilitates and coaches teams within the clinical practice toward better outcomes. He says bridging gaps between people and departments generates new ideas, improves outcomes, and contributes to a more resilient, responsive, and joyful workplace. Eric shares common misperceptions about quality improvement and key success factors he’s discovered in his work.

  • As healthcare delivery systems work toward adoption of emerging digital technologies and more automation, many leaders grapple with the question of how much is too much. Are the human elements of care—comfort, empathy, and warmth—being diminished or lost along the way?

    Our guests on the latest Key In To Quality podcast say it’s about awareness and balance. In the episode entitled “Tech with Heart: Navigating Innovation and Compassion in Healthcare,” Anne Pronschinske, vice chair, Center for Digital Health, Mayo Clinic and Rebecca Brustad, director, Patient Experience, Mayo Clinic, discuss the organization’s approach.

    Together, they share insight into how Mayo Clinic is extracting the efficiencies of innovation while finding new ways to maintain the human aspects of patient care and experience. They assert that when the patient remains at the center of every decision, technology can benefit caregivers and free up time do deliver human-centered care and find more meaning and purpose in their work..

  • Patient experience is about making patient healthcare journeys better; in creating improved experiences, healthcare delivery staff often enjoy better processes and outcomes. But who is responsible for creating patient experience improvement? Where does one start? And are innovation and automation at the center of it all? Not necessarily says our latest podcast guest.

    In this episode of the Key in to Quality podcast, Lacey Hart, Administrator, Experience Relationship Management (XRM), Quality Department, Mayo Clinic, says that experience design focuses on the gaps between the experience points along a patient’s journey. Hart, who leads a team of experience relationship design professionals, discusses how Mayo Clinic’s patient experience strategy has created powerful synergy between people, processes, and technology, resulting in better interactions—and relationships—with patients.

  • It's been said that passion provides purpose, but data drives decisions. When it comes to patient experience data, both are true. Often, however, it is easy to focus on surface-level summaries while overlooking valuable insights or “golden nuggets.”

    In this episode, Laurie Wilshusen, administrator, Quality Experience Research, Mayo Clinic expounds on 30 years of experience listening to patients through market research. While the state of the art has changed a lot throughout her career, she points to more contemporary tools such as natural language processing, which reveals the golden nuggets (what patients are saying about their experiences and needs) and efficiencies to organize it into actionable insights. Listen in as Ms. Wilshusen shares her thoughts how leaders can use and share data more effectively and empathically, and a glimpse into the future of measuring emotions, human connection, relationships, and trust.

  • Research supports the connection between the patient experience, patient safety, and clinical outcomes. How do these health care factors intersect to support human connection and trust within clinical encounters? And why is that essential?

    In this episode of the Key in to Quality podcast, Dawn Davis, M.D., department chair and consultant, Dermatology, Mayo Clinic, shares her thoughts on the patient journey: from first making an appointment to walking out of the hospital or clinic. According to Dr. Davis, the journey involves the patient, their family, caregivers, and providers, and requires a unique skillset to make personal connections, build trust, and help patients feel seen and heard. She says making patients the top priority in every interaction leads to better patient outcomes and increased satisfaction by patients and those caring for them.

  • Experiences are more than just a series of transactions between patients and healthcare professionals. In many instances, care involves deeply personal and often vulnerable human interactions—not just services but moments of trust. Healthcare can profoundly impact people on a personal level. How can we build a deeply human experience for both patients and caregivers?

    In this episode of the Key In To Quality podcast, Sheila Stevens, MSW, administrator, Experience Training, Education & Coaching, Mayo Clinic, shares her team’s model for exceptional human-centered care experiences and how to train staff to deliver them.

    Hospitals commonly use huddles to create staff alignment on a wide range of operational, clinical, and other topics and functions. However, not all huddles deliver the desired effect of lasting impact and full staff engagement. Experts agree that one fundamental requirement of creating a safety culture is having a preoccupation with safety built into every workday.

    In this episode, Dr. Cowart shares her experience with building a culture of safety through deliberate, strategic, and persistent hard work. She has dedicated much of her career to improving safety culture at Mayo Clinic and other institutions. Dr. Cowart provides useful insights on and practical recommendations for implementing daily huddles that foster trusting relationships, build leadership skills, and engage team members in creating safety culture.

    Hospitals can succeed or fail based on their patient safety reputation and records. Is it enough to claim being a “safe hospital” based on declining patient safety incidents or the goal of “zero harm?” How do you know your if hospital is truly a safe place for patients and staff?

    Join us for the conversation with Subashnie Devkaran, Ph.D., Enterprise Chair, Quality, Mayo Clinic. In the discussion, Dr. Devkaran shares her thoughts about moving towards "Safety-II" concepts and the paradigm shift from achieving zero harm to being a high-reliability organization. She also discusses how artificial intelligence will be part of advancing health care quality and safety in meaningful ways for patients and staff.

    Accreditation and certification standards have long reflected best practices for structures and processes that drive quality outcomes. But where does healthcare equity factor in?

    In this podcast, two Mayo Clinic leaders talk about how The Joint Commission has implemented new standards that address disparities alongside of its traditional focus on elevating hospital patient safety and quality.

    The conversation includes how Mayo Clinic evaluated and aligned the new standards with organizational priorities to reduce healthcare inequity, challenges encountered and the imperative of changing culture to successfully meet the new standards.

    Medical progress has been at times amazing, but not everyone is receiving the benefits of these advances. Many studies show that healthcare outcomes are more influenced by zip codes than any other factor. The news is full of examples of how access to and processes of care are not equally distributed to all, and that biases—both personal and systemic—play a role in this inequitable and unethical situation. So---we have a lot to do to advance health equity for patients. Where will we start? This podcast discusses the history of Mayo Clinic’s Office of Health Equity and Inclusion, and current strategy and status, as we strive to support our patients in achieving optimal health equity outcomes.
