1. The document summarizes discussions from a staff ride where wildland fire leaders studied leadership lessons from the Battle of Gettysburg.
2. Key themes discussed included whether leadership can be taught, the value of studying military leadership, and how the principles of high reliability organizing (HRO) can improve wildland fire leadership.
3. Participants noted similarities between military and wildland fire leadership in decision-making with imperfect information. The staff ride allowed discussion of leadership challenges through the lens of specific Civil War battles and leaders.
This document discusses high-reliability organizations (HROs) and how their principles can be applied to EMS to improve safety and performance. It describes how researchers first identified HRO principles from studying the highly reliable crew of the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier. The five key principles of HROs are identified as preoccupation with failure, reluctance to simplify, sensitivity to operations, commitment to resilience, and deference to expertise. Collective mindfulness, sensemaking, and enactment are also described as important characteristics of HROs. The document argues that applying these HRO concepts and principles can help EMS systems achieve greater reliability and reduce catastrophic failures.
1) The document describes the development of a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) at a university medical center. Two pediatric intensive care physicians drew on their past experiences in the military and as paramedics to develop the unit.
2) They recognized that the traditional medical model was not well-suited for uncertain, high-risk situations. Their goals were to engender trust, address fear, and improve decision-making under uncertainty.
3) They emphasized supporting caregivers and teaching through compelling stories rather than imposing rules. This helped develop a new culture focused on high-quality care in dynamic medical situations.

An MIS consists of three parts: people who gather and use the information, equipment like databases to store it, and processes for collecting, analyzing and sharing it. The system helps assess needs, develop useful internal and external data, and distribute findings. However, managers must balance information wants with needs and feasibility given limitations. Too much unfocused data can create overload instead of insights.
