Abstract:
Dr. Pian-Smith’s research has focused on “speaking up” across hierarchical gradients, with the goal of improving education, enhancing the role and responsibility of all members of care teams, and supporting safety culture. This highly engaging presentation will include videos and audio recordings of simulation training sessions and experiments designed to train anesthesia providers to speak up effectively during critical events or when there is disagreement about clinical plans. Participants will learn language techniques to invite collaboration, many with roots in social sciences and organizational behavior.
