Good to Great: A Team Approach to Excellence
Published October 10, 2024


In 2023 Hartford HealthCare’s Human Experience Team embarked on a Good to Great (G2G) journey to identify teams that have the biggest impact on the metric of likelihood to recommend. The journey began with an analysis of patient experience and colleague engagement data from inpatient units across Hartford HealthCare. By analyzing data for likelihood to recommend, paired alongside engagement metrics of team and leader indices, inpatient teams were classified as low-performing, middle-performing, or high-performing units. This tiered approach provided a road map for the type of support needed for each unit. This webinar will cover the classification applied to create the tiers, the piloted approach with one middle performing unit, the impact of teamwork with results one year later, and how using Lean methodology and daily management huddle boards is helping to spread the Good to Great work to other teams.
