"Ask yourself and ask people what makes them happy. Find your happiness, because if you are not happy then you won't be able to give your 100 percent," said Murphy. The ACC command surgeon honed in on the value and importance of High Reliability Organizations (HRO), emphasizing lean principles, Six Sigma, and building a culture of safety. An HRO provides high quality, safe and effective healthcare for every patient, every time. He asked everyone to think "lean," seeking out waste and getting rid of errors.
