Creating a better workplace turns cynics into champions of unit-based teams. UBTs help workers, managers and physicians better serve Kaiser Permanente members and patients. Yet even though everyone in the unit belongs to the team, too many people don’t realize they do. Engaging with your team can change lives—including your own. Read on and see how. 

Plus: "Meet Your National Agreement," puzzles and games and great comics that will help everyone realize they are part of your UBT.

Resources: Help Your Team Make the Grade

Three things you can do to up your team’s game:

  • Talk with your UBT consultants and union partnership representatives (UPRs) for advice.
  • Contact the Patient Advisory Councils in your facility, service area or region for guidelines on how to include the voice of the customer in your work.
  • Use UBT Tracker and the new Team-Tested Practices section to find successful practices from other teams or regions.

Teams, facilities and regions all play a role in improvement
Story body part 1

Last year, the outpatient procedure unit-based team at Capitol Hill Medical Center rewrote the instructions it sends to patients scheduled
for a colonoscopy. A patient who found the earlier directions confusing played a leading role in the process.

The new instructions helped reduce by 20 percent the number of colonoscopies that needed to be repeated. Involving the patient was “a transformational experience
for the team,” says Jennifer Walker, RN, lead UBT consultant and improvement advisor in the Mid-Atlantic States region.

It also showed the power of a new provision of the 2015 National Agreement.
