CULTURE…A JOURNEY TO DIFFERENT: Advanced Home Care’s Customer Care Center The journey to create a new culture in the Customer Care Center at Advanced Home Care stemmed from two pieces of information that in the end required a needs assessment to be completed. The turnover rate in the department was more than 40% and the number of patient event/concern forms for employees in the department was extraordinarily excessive.

Data was gathered through anonymous surveys, one on one interviews with staff, as well as observation of team interaction in the team area. The anonymous surveys that included both Likert scale questions and open ended questions were administered through Survey Monkey. One on one interviews were conducted by the director of the department with the whole CCC team. Every interview covered the exact same questions. Formal observations using a formal observation sheet/record were conducted by the CCC leadership team. There was also a review of patient event/concern forms to consider trends in lack of education or accountability or process clarity.

The needs assessment fueled the writing of program goals, learning objectives, and informed what and how to evaluate. How the Needs Assessment Informs the Evaluation Evaluation is the
The roles of the leadership in the clinics are essential to the success or unsuccessful implementation of change. The attitude of the leadership carries weight on how well the rest of the staff receives the change. Leaders on the clinic level have to accept changes whether good or bad and expect staff to challenge them. Leaders have to be strong and accept the change themselves and to support upper management. There are problems dealing with changes when issues arise between created civilian and military personnel. These issues are not easily dealt with and when changes are ensuing within a facility this causes undue stress within the organization. This is one reason that leadership needs to bring forth and implement changes within an organization as all one team because staff is well suited at picking up any rift

The key to the leaders involved in this organization study is to convey, examine, make improvements, collaborate, and initiate changes within the hospital, which this study principally is engrossed on bringing crucial argument and descriptions to light.
