Healthcare Culture
Culture is an essential aspect of healthcare because it illustrates the shared perspectives, behaviors, and approaches to management within healthcare institutions. Notably, it is widely believed that healthcare organizations comprise of diverse perspectives that are usually shaped by the norms or values of the people or stakeholders of the institution (Mannion & Davies, 2018). There is a secure link between the culture of an organization and the quality of care. The Christian World View is usually based on compassion and stewardship, which are essential aspects of enhancing ethical practices within the institution (Myers, 2017). A culture of excellence is usually hinged on the desire to improve the standards of care within an organization continuously. This arises from an ongoing process of monitoring, evaluating, and empowering workers to deliver reliable, safe, and high-quality care. Concerning safety, the culture is usually focused on eliminating any sources of clinical errors and ensuring that there are minimal barriers in the hierarchy of care (Burrill, Parker, & Fitzgerald, 2019).

Adopting continuous quality improvement (CQI) is one of the major principles for establishing a culture of excellence and safety. In this regard, the CQI assists in fostering a sustainable approach to problem-solving and a systematic approach to enhanced care quality. This ensures that there are better care outcomes for the patients and addresses any potential challenges along the way. Moreover, CQI is an ongoing process that allows practitioners to highlight the leading cause of errors or complications in the healthcare system (Burrill, Parker, & Fitzgerald, 2019).
When the bottleneck situations are identified, it is easier to build a culture of excellence because there are critical considerations for any form of development within the system of care. Another advantage associated with this principle is its ability to measure and utilize data to assist in decision-making. Data is an essential aspect of healthcare management. This implies that the use of evidence-based information enhances care standards and promotes a holistic view of the challenges. The lea...
