This podcast episode explores ways to address and potentially reduce what has come to be known as “administrative harm,” or decisions made by administrators and leaders that ultimately lead to difficult working conditions for healthcare providers and possibly clinical harm to patients.  

During this episode, you will explore: 

• How taking time to analyze and identify the appropriate person to perform a task is a method to reduce administrative harm
• How patient stories may lead to modifications in administrative decisions, making them potentially less harmful
• The need to gather and analyze data surrounding administrative decisions to gain information to predict and mitigate harm
• The importance of including frontline clinicians when administrative decisions are being considered to ensure their perspective is considered
