Why Psychological Safety is so Important in Health Care

Today’s Healthcare Experience Matters Podcast episode covers psychological safety and its importance in a vibrant healthcare workplace. A workplace that takes protecting psychological safety seriously fosters a culture where individuals can speak up with new ideas, questions, and concerns in an effort to do better. 

The patient experience can be elevated in environments that protect psychological safety. In a really strong psychologically safe environment, everyone feels like they can speak up and say what's on their mind. This is how teams can learn more from each other and ultimately deliver better patient care. 

Our guest today is Stephan Wiedner, a psychological safety expert interviewed by our Podcast Director, Casey Callanan. Stephan Wiedner is a psychological safety expert whose career has focused on developing sustainable high-performance leaders, teams, and organizations.
