Samson helped staff trace some of the office miscommunications to a lack of cultural sensitivity. Diversity issues are on the table at one of every two staff meetings, according to Samson. Diversity awareness has improved as a result of directly confronting stereotypes that had previously prevailed in inter-office communications. Samson also believed that diversity awareness was most important in regards to patient relations.

The staff leader met with the nurses each morning to discuss that day's roster. Then, to minimize wait times, the nurses embarked on a sophisticated method of scheduling and coordination. Each of the nine nurses could see any of the patients. The nurses were entrusted with information delivery and everyone was on the same page as a result. Keeping all the staff informed was one of the ways that Samson has succeeded in creating a positive workplace environment.
