Improved quality and outcomes through congruent leadership, teamwork and life choices

This manuscript evaluates how substantial improvement in quality and outcomes can be achieved by attention to intra and interpersonal factors that influence learning, growth, innovation and team function. It is difficult to quantify the improvement in outcome in terms of lives saved, errors prevented, morbidity reduced, but the literature on this topic as well as the experience of numerous providers suggests that it will be real and substantial. The recommendations in this manuscript will help you improve your practice.
