- Discuss evidence-based principles and current clinical guidelines to evaluate the appropriateness of care delivered and identify opportunities for alternative approaches.
- Apply multidisciplinary discussion to encourage shared learning, promote a culture of safety, and gain diverse perspectives on clinical decision-making and system processes.
