Reluctance to Simplify

Teams dig into complex processes and avoid relying on assumptions.

Sensitivity to Operations

Leaders and staff remain alert to clinical conditions and risks as they happen.

Commitment to Resilience

Teams respond quickly and effectively to challenges.

Deference to Expertise

Those who are closest to the work, regardless of rank, make decisions.
