Clinical Center staff starts each day focused on patient safety

Representatives from Clinical Center departments and NIH Institutes convene daily at 8:40 a.m. in the Medical Board Room to report on concerns from the previous 24 hours and to look ahead to any potential safety or quality issues expected in the next 24 hours. The daily huddles were established last year to bring staff representing direct care providers as well as hospital leaders together to provide awareness and real time understanding about potential or existing safety, quality and service issues.
