Resolving Conflict in Real Time: Operationalizing Culture Transformation in Deployments

ABSTRACT Preparation is the key to performance. The Army invests substantially in team and unit preparation prior to deployments. However, despite the time and training to build camaraderie and confidence in one another, conflict still arises within units. Most training does not address the underlying mindset that is the source of conflict. Army medicine has utilized training material that addresses the mindset source of conflict to improve team and organizational collaboration and outcomes in hospital settings. We adapted this current Army training to conditions in a deployment environment and improved the culture and reduced the conflict in the unit.

And Training

The Play Cycle Observation Method (PCOM) is an observational tool developed to focus on the process of play and has shown good reliability when watching videos of children playing. This study piloted use of the PCOM in ‘real time’ in a pre-school setting where 3-year-old children play. The results from two independent observers not familiar with the concept of the Play Cycle or the PCOM found good inter-rater reliability using Cohen Kappa (k) when observing play cues to form play cycles, as well as observing play cues within established play cycles. In addition, the recording of the nature of the play cues and play returns, the play frame and how the play cycle finishes (annihilation) were shown to be consistent between the two inter-rater observers. The results of this pilot study indicate the PCOM can be used as an observational tool to record the process of play by both students and practitioners working in a range of contexts including playwork, childcare, early years and statutory education. The PCOM can also be used as a teaching and training aid for trainers and lecturers.

This paper describes how the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture launched an initiative on research data management and open data, open access publishing, and open and collaborative ways of working in 2014. Most of the universities and research institutions took part in the collaborative initiative building new tools and training material for the Finnish research needs. Measures taken by one university, Aalto University, are described in detail and analysed, and compared with the activities taking place in other universities. The focus of this paper is in the changing roles of experts at Aalto University, and organisational transformation that offers possibilities to serve academic personnel better. Various ways of building collaboration and arranging services are described, and their benefits and drawbacks are discussed.

Reaction Level

This study was aimed to describe evaluation results of: (1) participants’ level of satisfaction, (2) participants’ level of understanding of the material, (3) participants’ post-training level of implementation, (4) improved success of participants due to the training. The research type was evaluation research using Kirkpatrick’s Four Level model, which consisted of: Reaction, learning, behavioral, and result levels. The research samples were 20 former training participants. Data was collected by questionnaire, observation, and unstructured interview. Quantitative data was processed with the help of SPSS 21.0 for Windows. Validity of instrument at reaction, learning, behavioral, and result levels used Corrected Item-Total Correlation. Reliability calculation used Alpha formula. The research result showed that: 1) evaluation of reaction level: the satisfaction to sewing making training in terms of material, tutor, facility, and training method by PAP and PAP was “satisfying” 2) evaluation of learning level: understanding of material of the participants of making training sewing in terms of understanding of training material by PAP and PAN was “Mastering” 3) evaluation of behavioral level: participants’ implementation after training sewing of making in terms of post-training behavioral aspect by PAP and PAN was “implementing” 4) evaluation of result level: improved resulting competence due to training sewing of making by PAP and PAN was “poorly improved”.

Introduction In resource-limited settings – with inequalities in access to and outcomes for trauma, surgical and critical care – intensive care registries are uncommon. Aim The Pakistan Society of Critical Care Medicine, Intensive Care Society (UK) and the Network for Improving Critical Care Systems and Training (NICST) aim to implement a clinician-led real-time national intensive care registry in Pakistan: the Pakistan Registry of Intensive CarE (PRICE). Method This was adapted from a successful clinician co-designed national registry in Sri Lanka; ICU information has been linked to real-time dashboards, providing clinicians and administrators individual patient and service delivery activity respectively. Output Commenced in August 2017, five ICU’s (three administrative regions – 104 beds) were recruited and have reported over 1100 critical care admissions to PRICE. Impact and future PRICE is being rolled out nationally in Pakistan and will provide continuous granular healthcare information necessary to empower clinicians to drive setting-specific priorities for service improvement and research.

ABSTRACT Background Few tools currently exist for effective, accessible delivery of real-time, workplace feedback in the clinical setting. Objective We developed and implemented a real-time, web-based tool for performance-based feedback in the clinical environment. Methods The tool (myTIPreport) was designed for performance-based feedback to learners on the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Milestones and procedural skills. “TIP” stands for “Training for Independent Practice.” We implemented myTIPreport in obstetrics and gynecology (Ob-Gyn) and female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery (FPMRS) programs between November 2014 and May 2015. Residents, fellows, teachers, and program directors completed preimplementation and postimplementation surveys on their perceptions of feedback. Results Preimplementation surveys were completed by 656 participants of a total of 980 learners and teachers in 19 programs (12 Ob-Gyn and 7 FPMRS). This represented 72% (273 of 378) of learners and 64% (383 of 602) of teachers. Seventy percent of participants (381 of 546) reported having their own individual processes for real-time feedback; the majority (79%, 340 of 430) described these processes as informal discussions. Over 6 months, one-third of teachers and two-thirds of learners used the myTIPreport tool a total of 4311 times. Milestone feedback was recorded 944 times, and procedural feedback was recorded 3367 times. Feedback addressed all ACGME Milestones and procedures programmed into myTIPreport. Most program directors reported that tool implementation was successful. Conclusions The majority of learners successfully received workplace feedback using myTIPreport. This web-based tool, incorporating procedures and ACGME Milestones, may be an important transition from other feedback formats.
