About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

This is an awesome TedX and story of an organization's complete transformation and its impact on value, loyalty and marketplace differentiation. This model focusing on the customer experience works in Patient Care and across other industries. This is GREAT!

This man makes me want to go into management/administration. He noticed a problem, engaged his workforce, and fixed it. And all for the benefit of patients.

[@ShakeMyWay]

I was with him on all of it except the transporter coming in on his day-off. While I understand the family's wishes, the transporter and his family is important too. Valuing employees and treating each one of them well, is just as important as treating each patient with the utmost care and respect.

What?

[@mobius7188]

ShakeMyWay I agree. He's soon starting as CEO at Geisinger Medical Center, which I work at. But for one, I can't afford to get all new scrubs for a uniform standard. Two, here's an idea....make the employees happy. Happy employees will be better for their patients...making them happier. Why did this transporter come in? Because it was expected or because he wanted to? I've had to prepare a room for the family who just lost their loved on....I truly feel for them....but on my day off...it's MY day...not work's day. In my world, my family takes priority over work.

[@ShakeMyWay]

mobius7188 Luckily where I work, the scrub tops are provided. Also, the thing that made the big difference with his scores was that senior management rounded on patients.

[@mobius7188]

I will agree that's important. Crap....unit managers hardly do stuff with patients. "Oh hey I'm like gonna run this unit yo sick ass is on but I don't care enough about it to come talk to you."

[@ShakeMyWay]

I actually have a GREAT manager. She's doing everything she can. I feel like the employees are already busting their humps, and that satisfaction scores should not be the story for success. I try to do my best for the patients everyday. It shouldn't be about the score. The score is only for Federal reimbursement.

Awesome. What a gr8 idea. Would fix so much. All on the business side should have to be orderly once a month

Earlier this year in LA Weekly, David Feinberg was described as 'something of a PR wizard'... Now I understand why! :-)
