  18. Innovation and change is driven from the point-of-service not from the top of any system. There is no sustainable accountability without ownership Timothy Porter O’Grady, Aug, 2012, Presentation to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, Ohio

  19. What shared governance is not? “ Shared governance is not democracy. It is an accountability- based approach to structure in which there is a clear expectation that all members of a system participate in its work.” Timothy Porter O’ Grady Interdisciplinary Shared Governance: Integrating Practice, Transforming Health Care

  20. Partnership • Between professions and care areas • Complex care and the continuum of care required by patient’s cannot be done without multiple links between providers at all points in the system.

  21. Accountability • The willingness to invest in decision making • Express a sense of ownership • Willingness to evaluate and be evaluated by established performance criteria. Every professional needs to know how to give and receive feedback in a professional manner.

  22. Equity • “…integration of roles to achieve outcomes” • Each profession comes to the table with their scope of practice and role in the health care team. • “Equity is not equality. Equity is the willingness to achieve a common goal through collaboration and unified effort.”

  23. Ownership • The success of any organization is directly linked to how employees do their daily jobs. • “Ownership becomes both individual and team ownership because optimal outcomes cannot be achieved without integrated team effort.

(Sanchez & Cralle, 2012) • Membership on a collaborative governance committee increased staff sense of empowerment and fostered self-growth and organizational development. (Erickson et all, 2003)

  27. What does the research say? • Employees who are empowered are more committed to the organization, more accountable for their work, and better able to fulfill job demands in an effective manner. (Larkin et al, 2008) • The health care system of the future will only benefit from a high-level thinker and leader at the point-of-service. (George et al, 2002)
