Title: PC2 - The Why and How of Dealing with Difficult People

Disciplines: Professional Issues (PI), Advanced Practice (AP)

Learning Objectives:
  1. Identify a range of disruptive professional behaviors and describe a “disruptive behavior pyramid”.
  2. Articulate a general plan for addressing disruptive professional behavior.
  3. Describe tools that may help address unprofessional behavior by building a civilized workplace.
Submission Description:
Disruptive behavior by healthcare professionals is a threat to quality of care and patient safety, while also affecting staff morale and increasing cost burdens to a healthcare organization. This presentation will provide tools, strategies and a comprehensive plan to address disruptive conduct. Furthermore, the methodology presented in this workshop is an essential component of a plan to address The Joint Commission's July 2008 Alert entitled "Behaviors that undermine a culture of safety."
