The Costs of Incivility: What We Do and Say Matters

Incivility—rude behavior, reluctance to assist, negative comments, lack of respect—we’ve all witnessed it or have been subjected to it in the health care environment. These behaviors undermine a culture of safety, negatively influence the patient experience, affect team performance and impact your bottom line.

This webinar will help senior leaders and clinicians understand the costs and business impacts of incivility and identify steps to promote a respectful culture and mutual support for all health care team members.

Objectives:

1. Define incivility, understand the incidence and list its impacts on health care organizations.
2. Gain an appreciation of the costs to turning a “blind eye” to incivility in health care.
3. Acquire processes and tools to address incivility in your health care organization.
