21The Good Old Days . . .
- In the mid 1900s, what was medicine like?
- Physician controlled medical care.
- Physician prescribed other modalities and told
other professionals exactly what to do and how to
do it. - Physician was autonomous and received little
input from other health professions.
22Traditional Leadershipin Medicine
- Hierarchical
- Tyrannical/dictatorial/ cruel
- Fear
- Abusive
- Malignant
- Inflexible
- Intolerant
Never argue with the Chief
23Times Have Changed!
- In the 1970s, health care began its reform and
physicians began to depend on other health
professionals to assist with patient care
functions. - Managing the care of individuals and populations
often requires participation in team-based
efforts. - Other health professionals have learned how to
maximize their opportunities, and to affect the
direction of health care reform. - Other health professions are now respected
patient care providers with much to contribute to
the health care system.
24Traditional Leadershipin Medicine
- No longer considered a successful approach
- Not tolerated in clinical settings
25Teamwork
26Medical Leaders
- To practice medicine is to serve in the capacity
of leader or team member on multiple teams
simultaneously at any given time.

30The New Paradigm
- Teams and teamwork represent the basis of a new
paradigm in health care. - Shifts in
- Where employees work
- What functions they perform
- In which disciplines they work
- How they interact with each other
- Increasing numbers of workers are now expected to
cross-train and function as effective team
members.
31Teamwork
- Quality health care depends on every health care
worker doing his/her part. - Professionals with different backgrounds,
different education, different ideas, different
responsibilities, and different interests all
work together to provide appropriate quality
care. - Well coordinated teamwork across the health
professions can provide effective and
cost-effective patient care.
32Teamwork
- In almost any health care career, you will be a
part of an interdisciplinary health care team
(practitioners from different professions who
share a common patient population and common
patient care goals with responsibility for
complementary tasks). - The team concept was created to provide quality
holistic health care to every patient. - It is essential that you learn to become a team
player and learn to work well with others.
33Teamwork
- The members of the team may change from day to
day, depending on the medical situation. - The teams goal stays the same - - to provide
quality health care for patients that will - Help patients get well and/or stay well.
- Contribute to diagnosing diseases or conditions.
- Make patients more comfortable or otherwise
improve the quality of their lives.
34Teamwork Model
- Components
- Common group of patients.
- Common goals for patient outcome and shared
commitment to meeting these goals. - Member functions are appropriate to an
individuals education and expertise. - Team members understand each others roles.
- Mechanism for communication.
- Mechanism for monitoring patient outcome.
- Strong sense of team identity.
35Teamwork Model
- Values/Behaviors
- Trust among all parties
- Knowledge and trust remove the need for
supervision - Joint decision making
- Mutual respect for the expertise of all members
of the team this respect is communicated to the
patient
- Communication that is not hierarchic but rather
two-way facilitating sharing of information
knowledge - Cooperation coordination promote the use of the
skills of all team members, prevent duplication,
and enhance the productivity - Optimism that this is the most effective method
of delivery of quality of care
36Advantages of Teamwork
- For Patients
- Improves care by increasing coordination of
services, especially for complex problems. - Empowers patients as active partners in care.
- Can serve patients of diverse cultural
backgrounds. - Uses time more efficiently.
37Advantages of Teamwork
- For Health Care Professionals
- Increases professional satisfaction.
- Enables the practitioner to learn new skills and
approaches. - Encourages innovation.
- Allows provider to focus on individual
- areas of expertise.
38Advantages of Teamwork
- For the Health Care Delivery System
- Holds potential for more efficient delivery of
care. - Maximizes resources and facilities.
- Decreases burden on acute care facilities
- as a result of increased preventive care.
39Example
- Surgical Team
- Admitting clerk (admission information)
- Insurance representative (approval for surgery)
- Nurses or patient care technicians (prep pt)
- Surgeons, one or more
- Anesthesiologist
- Operating room nurses
- Surgical technicians
- Housekeepers (clean and sanitize OR after
procedure) - Sterile supply techs (clean instruments)
- Recovery room personnel
- Dietitian
- Social worker
- Physical therapist
- Occupational therapist
- Home health personnel
40Interdisciplinary Teams
- In contrast to
- Disciplinary or independent medical management
approach - in which a practitioner works autonomously with
limited input from other practitioners.
41Interdisciplinary Teams
- In contrast to
- Multidisciplinary approach
- which involves various health care professionals
working independently - - not collaboratively - -
with each responsible for a different patient
need.
42Interdisciplinary Teams
- In contrast to
- Consultative approach
- in which one practitioner retains central
responsibility and consults with others as
needed.
43Leaders Power and Influence
- Influence is important to the leadership process
because it is the means by which leaders
successfully persuade others to follow their
advice, suggestion or order. The essence of
leadership is the ability to influence others. To
have influence, however, one also must have power.
44Types of power
- Reward power
- Coercive power
- Legitimate powerposition powerAuthority
- Expert power
-
- (Area of specialization)
PATRIARCHAL
45PATRIARCHAL
- Referent power
- association
with the powerful - inspiring
admiration - Charisma
(personal) - Informational power
- Self power (feminist power)
-
46- Most effective leaders rely on several different
forms of power e.g. giving orders (legitimate),
praising (reward), disciplining (coercive). -
- Power must be used wisely to influence people
e.g. abuse of coercive power may lead to
weakening or loss of referent power. - Effective leaders understand the costs, risks,
and benefits of using each kind of power and are
able to recognize which to draw on in different
situations and with different people.

group are in constant interaction. - The effective leader is one whose personality and
style satisfy employees need for structure and
consideration. - The leader ( subordinates) is controlled by the
situation, he/she is - Subservient to the task.
- At mercy of subordinates
- Leadership should shift from one person to
another during project implementation
52Guidelines for adapting leadership style
/activities to the situation

attribute. - Occupy a powerful position in the group force
field. -

58Communication skills for doctors
- Good communication skills are integral to medical
and other healthcare practice. - Communication is important not only to
professional-patient interaction but also - within the healthcare team.
59Principles of effective communication
- ensures interaction rather than direct
transmission - requires planning and thinking in terms of
outcomes - demonstrates dynamism what is appropriate for
one situation is inappropriate for another.
Achieving this dynamism requires flexibility,
responsiveness and involvement - follows the helical model (what one person says
influences what the other says in a spiral
fashion so that communication gradually evolves
through interaction). - From BMA
60Factors increasing the need for strong
communication skills in medicine
- improving the patients journey, which
requires advanced leadership, team working and
communication skills - cultural and organizational change
- the growing need for long-term management of
chronic disease this is believed to require a
shift in doctor-patient interaction and
healthcare team working to a partnership model - complaint handling and increasing litigation.
61The benefits of good communication skills
- Benefits for patients
- The doctor-patient relationship is improved.
The doctor is better able to seek the relevant
information and recognise the problems of the
patient by way of interaction and attentive
listening. As a result, the patients problems
may be identified more accurately. - Good communication helps the patient to recall
information and comply with treatment
instructions thereby improving patient
satisfaction.
62Benefits for patients- continued
Good communication may improve patient health
and outcomes. Better communication and dialogue
by means of reiteration and repetition between
doctor and patient has a beneficial effect in
terms of promoting better emotional health,
resolution of symptoms and pain control. The
overall quality of care may be improved by
ensuring that patients views and wishes are
taken into account as a mutual process in
decision making. Good communication is likely
to reduce the incidence of clinical error.
63Benefits for doctors
- Effective communication skills may relieve
doctors of some of the pressures of dealing with
the difficult situations encountered in this
emotionally demanding profession. Problematic
communication with patients is thought to
contribute to emotional burn-out and low personal
accomplishment in doctors as well as high
psychological morbidity. - Being able to communicate competently may also
enhance job satisfaction. - Patients are less likely to complain if doctors
communicate well. There is, therefore, a reduced
likelihood of doctors being sued.
64Communication within the healthcare team
- Good communication within the healthcare team is
essential in order to ensure continuity of care
and effective treatment for patients. - Good communication can deepen professionals
- understanding of others work or how their
role fits in with the rest of the healthcare team - Communication with managers and other
professionals, such as social workers, is equally
relevant. Communication difficulties between
doctors and with their managers is a leading
cause of disciplinary problems.
65- Good communication skills are essential to ensure
the effective transmission of knowledge and to
medical students and - doctors in training.
- The communication skills are needed to publish
research, educate, lead or inspire others - written and presentation skills in addition to
the one-to-one oral communication are required in
patient consultations.
66Barriers to effective communication
- Personal barriers
- lack of skill to use language that is tailored to
the patient, giving structured explanations and
listening to patients views to encouraging
two-way communication - inadequate knowledge of, or training in, other
communication skills including body language and
speed of speech. - doctors undervaluing the importance of
communicating (not appreciating the importance of
keeping patients adequately informed).
67- negative attitudes of doctors towards
communication. For example, giving it a low
priority due to a concern primarily to treat
illness rather than focusing on the patients
holistic needs - a lack of inclination to communicate with
patients. This can be due to lack of time,
uncomfortable topics and lack of confidence. - lack of knowledge about the illness/condition or
treatment. - Doctors need to be honest about the
limitations of their knowledge. - human failings, such as tiredness and stress.
- language barriers.
68Organizational barriers to effective communication
- Work constraints including lack of time, pressure
of work, and interruptions.
69Developing Leadership Skills

basis - Most physicians have some baseline skills

honed - Endless amount of literature, books, courses,
seminars, and institutes dedicated to leadership
