A leadership team is crucial to implementing safety and quality outcomes changes. The leadership team helps gather and provide the necessary resources for the implementation of the proposed changes described before. The resources can include equipment, staffing, and finances to train healthcare providers to prevent medication errors. The leadership team will also enhance communication and collaboration by engaging all the stakeholders and effectively communicating the initiatives for the changes to the stakeholders. The interprofessional collaboration promoted by the leadership team would ensure that high-quality care is delivered to the patients and that professionals from different disciplines are engaged for shared-decision making and quality improvements. The leadership team would gather all the relevant data related to the quality and safety outcomes to monitor the progress of the implementations to evaluate the success. Barriers and gaps can be identified to make adjustments accordingly. The leadership team is essential to manage change so there is a smooth transition for the members of the organization when the change is being implemented (Oreg & Berson, 2019).
Safety and quality outcomes are crucial to the healthcare issue of medication errors. Implementing technologies like BCMA, educating staff, and educating patients can help improve patient healthcare outcomes and patient satisfaction and reduce the cases of adverse events. The role of leadership also plays a vital role in adapting to the changes.
