Renee Thompson, CEO and founder of the Healthy Workforce Institute, emphasized, "We've been using silence as a strategy for so many years.

Organizations need to equip their leaders, especially frontline leaders, with the skills and tools they need to recognize disruptive behaviors, set behavioral expectations, confront bad behaviors, and hold people accountable."

The last episode in the series was with Dr. Stopyra emphasizing the necessity of cultivating a strong safety culture within healthcare organizations: "It's important for us in healthcare to prioritize a safety culture rooted in our values, beliefs, and norms...and thereby improve our ability to take the best care of our patients so they can heal and be well."
