Red Team Blog Outline:  Map Link on Plectica- https://www.plectica.com/maps/UNIEBJ28Y/edit/SAGOYS4MP

Introduction:

Thesis: Red Teaming as a military strategy tool is effective, but with more innovation and hard work, it could be implemented into the healthcare system as a method of advocating for all team members and their differing perspectives.

Body: Short, concise sentences to engage the readers!

Main Idea 1- What is Red Teaming/Why is it used?

• Stepping out of your comfort zone; appreciate asymmetries in a problem, not everything is solved the same way
• Forces the team to generate new ideas regardless of rank/status
• Shift perspectives; find alternative solutions
• Protection from biases
• Learn that not everyone has the same beliefs/values as you do

Main Idea 2- Principles used in Red Teaming

• Self-awareness & Reflection: Why do we believe the things we do? Base more of our actions on logic than emotion. Having SAR helps us remain open to new ideas & want to improve!
• Groupthink Mitigation/Decision Support: Groupthink can be a problem because people feel pressured to agree with the group or not voice their own opinions, better decision making comes from making everyone feel like they can voice their opinion.
• Fostering Cultural Empathy: Looks @ why people have different values, helps us understand their values/beliefs. Everyone believes things for a reason; comes from anthropological focus.
• Applied Critical Thinking: understanding our own arguments, deconstructing others. ID our own biases, look at alternatives outside our comfort zone.

Main Idea 3- Challenging traditions, making improvements in healthcare

• Healthcare is constantly changing; technology & ideas need to change with it.
• Red Teaming challenges old ideas, making sure the new ideas help the team move forward
• Challenges the assumption that you already know how to solve problems by finding alternatives through new ideas

Conclusion-

Take Away: The use of Red Teaming in healthcare can help advance creativity in the workplace and stall the use of overused and depleted traditions.

• Proven to be effective in the military, why can’t it move to healthcare teams?
• Healthcare is obviously very different from the military, but the strategy can be used in the same way.
