Abstract
Through an ambitious change management initiative titled "No One Waits (NOW)," Bluewater Health leaders enlisted staff to take ownership of reducing wait times by identifying barriers to transitions within the hospital and to the community. The approach shifted the hospital's culture to overcome those impediments and succeed in reducing wait times dramatically, including compared with peers. Meanwhile, overall patient experience ratings improved and staff trust increased. These changes have been maintained over several years and have resulted in better management of patient volumes during the COVID-19 pandemic and the current health human resources crisis.
