Crisis Prevention for Healthcare and Home Care

Learn actionable strategies and comprehensive insights to enhance patient care, ensure safety, and maintain professional compliance. Many healthcare professionals and caregivers encounter patients experiencing crises but lack a structured approach to effectively manage these situations. Often, they are uncertain about how to assess a patient in crisis, identify critical risk factors, and intervene in a way that ensures safety while fostering resolution. Furthermore, the absence of a comprehensive understanding of legal and ethical considerations, such as patient safety and family involvement, can leave professionals vulnerable to compliance issues and potential harm to patients or caregivers. This presentation equips attendees with the tools and knowledge necessary to address crises effectively and confidently. By attending, participants will gain a thorough understanding of crisis management, including its definition, the nature of crises, and the common precursors. They will learn how to differentiate between types of crises and implement rapid data collection techniques to assess risk factors and identify the phases of a crisis. Attendees will also master essential interventions, including de-escalation strategies, action plan development, and post-crisis debriefing. In addition, the session will delve into the legal and ethical aspects of crisis management, providing guidance on ensuring safety, fostering family involvement, and addressing non-compliance. Finally, participants will review best practices for training and proactive approaches to crisis prevention, leaving them better prepared to manage and mitigate crises in their professional settings.

This topic will help any organization begin to see that accountability will increase employee satisfaction, loyalty, and trust in the organization and the management teams.

Developing Employee Career Paths

Learn to create viable career paths for employees that promote strong internal mobility and allows individuals to explore opportunities. Creating career paths for employees can be a challenging but worthwhile initiative. With proper planning and imple-mentation, a career development plan can be a win for the employees as well as the employers. This topic will help you achieve that victory. In today's diverse, global and technologically savvy work environment, career paths are no longer perceived as strictly vertical movements. Organizations need to create viable career paths for employees that promote strong internal mobility and allows individuals to explore opportunities from a lateral, vertical or even a diagonal perspective. It is important that companies make investments in an employee's career and future. If they don't, it could result in poor employee engagement and high turnover. A recent survey by Gallup found that 93% of people advanced their career by taking a position with another company. Advancing internal career paths is an important part of managing talent for all organizations from a development, retention and an engagement perspective. A well-crafted career path strategy can play a pivotal role in driving organizational change and building workforce capacity. This information will focus on how aligning talent management processes and providing linkages between job roles, desired competencies and key experiences that will help organizations enhance their future competitiveness. The discussion will demonstrate that implementing well-thought-out career path strategies can provide employees with opportunities and a clear direction on how to increase their skills and advance their careers within their organizations. Having a solid, multi-faceted employee career development plan that supports each step in the talent management cycle can make all the difference between a dead-end job and a long-term professional opportunity.
