Have a positive huddle!\u00a0Start out the huddle with something positive for example a positive quote, a prayer, kudos (highlight) from yesterday or a positive survey result!\u00a0I post a daily quote on my Company Facebook Page (judykay.mausolf) for dental team huddles. A positive start sets the tone and leads to a positive huddle and day!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>2. Give a heads-up of any changes in staffing for the day.\u00a0Who is working and when.\u00a0It\u2019s all hands-on deck.\u00a0Who can step up to help cover the shortage.\u00a0Consider team members in all departments.\u00a0Cross training enables business and clinical team members to assist each other.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>3. Define obstacles and rocks for the day!\u00a0The obstacles that may impede flow. As well as any rocks (tasks that need to be done that day or there will be negative consequences to the team, patients, or practice) that need to be completed that day.\u00a0List and prioritize rocks.\u00a0An example of a rock might be a lab case that needs to go out that day or ordering specific supplies if the practice will run out, or filling openings in the schedule for that day.\u00a0Everyone at the huddle is expected to take part in sharing any pertinent information that may affect the flow of the day. Divide the tasks amongst the team. The goal is to maintain the schedule if possible. Otherwise, find a convenient time for the patients to reschedule. It may take some creativity including lengthening a day or adding a hygiene day.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>4. Identify where to schedule same day emergency patients.\u00a0We want to empower our business team to be able to schedule emergency patients proficiently.\u00a0Identify two emergency times for the day.\u00a0I have found it works best when the clinical team chooses a time in the morning and in afternoon to schedule emergency patients.\u00a0Pick a time that is later in the morning and later in the afternoon to be able to accommodate the late caller.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>5.\u00a0End your huddle on a high note!\u00a0A positive huddle close helps set the tone for the day!\u00a0It\u2019s so important that we start our day on a positive note.\u00a0It could be something as simple as a high fiving each other and saying, \u201clet\u2019s make today a great day\u201d!\u00a0 Alternate who ends the huddle between all team members.\u00a0Be creative and fun! \u00a0Bookend your huddles with something positive!
