Coaching & Celebrating Success
• Identify early wins
• Recognition does not have to be big
• Recognize this is a marathon – small wins to a big goal
How do we engage others in the problem?
• Appeal to both sides of our doctor brain:
Finding your story
Data visualization
Inspiring data
Your data should tell your story

Outcomes(patient level results)
Structure(adherence to the
program)
- Antibiotics Stocked- EMR alert created- Changes to ED staffing
- Sepsis Mortality- Cost- LOS
- Lactate drawn- Blood cultures prior to antibiotics- Time to sepsis bundle delivery - Time to MD evaluation
Balancing Measures(potential harm)
- Allergic Reactions- Antibiotic Resistance- C. Difficile
