Adaptive teams, resilient staff, safe patients: The Circle Up© system of communication and coordination

Psychological support and daily workflow adaptation for COVID-19 and beyond
Center for Medical Simulation, Boston, MA

When our strictly designed and organized hospitals crash into an ever-changing and uncertain environment there are unintended negative consequences—stress and burnout, inefficiency, and increased risks for patients and caregivers. In the face of procedures, policies and workflows that change daily, we urgently need a simple way to adapt and a reliable way to support the resilience of staff.

This webinar detailed the Circle Up system of briefings, peer check-ins and debriefings that support cultures of continuous support, adaptivity and safe care despite the uncertainties of our world and clinical work.
