Meetings

How-To Guide: Have Great Meetings

Well-run meetings keep members of unit-based teams connected. Employees, managers and physicians can share information and solve problems face to face.


Poorly planned or badly run meetings, on the other hand, waste participants' time and lead to frustration and cynicism.

 

This guide will help you plan and conduct meetings that build teamwork and help your UBT make improvements that benefit our members and patients.
