Guideline compliance improves pneumonia care.
Expanding your standard practices can change staff behavior in the treatment of patients, as demonstrated by study of pneumonia care in 32 EDs. Repeat important information more often than you normally do. When staff do not follow procedure, take them aside and discuss the situation. Share mistakes with the rest of the staff, without identifying the one who made the error.
