Abstract

Background

Mayo Clinic's Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology conducted a climate survey in 2022, revealing the need for enhanced workforce education in areas such as psychological safety, DEI, and handling sensitive healthcare topics. The department recognized to facilitate change, increase ACGME scores related to educational offerings on things like Psychological Safety, and ensure clinical and business impact were supported, traditional training alone would be insufficient. This led to the creation of the DLMP's Education & Communication to Improve Healthcare Outcomes Academy. This academy utilizes a Hub and Spoke Model, offering practical case studies and presentations to facilitate knowledge sharing and application in difficult conversations.

Methods

The DLMP-ECHO Academy offers 2 cohorts annually with 25 slots each, spanning 5 months. Participants can earn up to 5 CE credits through Mayo Clinic Continuing Education by attending monthly classes. These courses are also available upon request outside the academy framework.

Results

Attendance includes clinicians, future leaders, and allied health staff, showcasing a significant impact on healthcare outcomes. Postsession surveys reveal increased empowerment and preparedness to address sensitive subjects, particularly noted by ResidentPhysicians who aim to strengthen their residency communities and patient care practices.

Conclusions

Prioritizing knowledge management enhances organizational values and competitive advantage, fostering equal opportunities for better healthcare outcomes. The direct positive outcomes include improved patient care practices and increased empowerment among healthcare professionals. Furthermore, the indirect positive outcomes encompass enhanced staff satisfaction, innovation, and retention.

改善医疗成果教育与交流学院(ECHO 学院)
背景马约诊所的检验医学和病理学部门在 2022 年进行了一项环境调查,结果显示需要在心理安全、DEI 和处理敏感医疗保健主题等领域加强员工教育。该部门认识到,要促进变革,提高 ACGME 在心理安全等教育课程方面的得分,并确保临床和业务影响得到支持,仅靠传统培训是不够的。因此,DLMP 创建了 "教育与amp; 沟通改善医疗成果学院"。DLMP-ECHO 学院每年举办两期,每期 25 个名额,为期 5 个月。参加每月课程的学员可通过梅奥诊所继续教育获得最多 5 个 CE 学分。参加者包括临床医生、未来领导者和专职医疗人员,对医疗成果产生了重大影响。课后调查显示,学员的能力和处理敏感话题的准备程度都有所提高,尤其是旨在加强住院社区和患者护理实践的住院医师。结论优先考虑知识管理可提升组织价值和竞争优势,为取得更好的医疗成果创造平等机会。直接的积极成果包括改善病人护理实践和提高医疗专业人员的能力。此外,间接的积极成果还包括提高员工满意度、创新能力和留住人才。
