Video Summary

Module 1, Session 1 of the Cardiovascular Program Coordinator Course titled "Building Teams" focuses on the necessary skills and responsibilities of a coordinator in the accreditation process. The learning objectives include identifying leadership and communication styles, applying project management skills, analyzing data reports, and recognizing cost savings or revenue generation. Coordinators are tasked with creating and communicating the vision, delegating and communicating effectively, generating an environment of passionate engagement, and helping the team achieve what they may think is impossible. Basic skills in using Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and flowcharts are essential. Involvement in process improvement initiatives and data collection/ reporting are also important. The video highlights the importance of having the right people on the team, including senior leadership, medical staff, quality/process improvement management, education staff, frontline staff, and department managers. The responsibilities of a team leader include preparing an agenda, maintaining focused discussions, encouraging participation, exhibiting effective listening skills, and establishing expectations and deadlines. The case study of Amanda, a part-time nurse responsible for achieving chest pain center and heart failure accreditations, emphasizes the necessary skills and dedicated time required for successful coordination.
