Dr. Sims shares the evolution of Mayo Clinic’s approach, from early resistance to growing staff ownership, and the surprising fellowship that emerged from these morning gatherings. Listeners will hear lessons learned, implementation challenges, and practical advice for organizations ready to begin their own journey toward a stronger safety culture.#safetyhuddles #mayokeyintoqualityHosted by Timothy Morgenthaler, M.D., and Sheri Nemec.
