Medical Practice Insights: Turn a Strategic Huddle Approach into an Army of Problem Solvers

In one practice, a tiered huddle system connected front line staff to all levels of leadership. The huddles empowered employees at all levels not only to do their work but to do the right work. We’re joined today by Keith Payne, Sr. Director Surgical Specialties and Hospital Affiliations at UC San Diego Health, who helped guide this process and explains key steps his team took to find success.
