What You Will Learn
​ 
1. Assess your organization and/or area of responsibility’s culture of safety​​​​​​
  • ​Use diagnostic tools to measure:​​​​

​Leadership ​Psychological Safety ​Accountability
Teamwork​ ​Negotiation ​Transparency
Reliability​​ ​Measurement ​Continuous Learning

  • Determine which data currently generated by your organization is most relevant to measuring a culture of safety, and which additional data could be captured​

2. Design a strategic patient safety plan tailored to your area of responsibility
  • Develop new systems for continuous learning including learning from what works and what harms
  • Construct new systems that accommodate for human factors and team resource management principles to reduce harm, errors and mortality within your organization​

3. Implement proven changes that improve the culture of safety throughout your organization/area of responsibility​
  • Generate buy-in from the executive and board-level leadership in your organization — a senior leader from your organization is invited to help develop its a strategic plan
  • Apply a sustainable, systemic culture of safety — not just a collection of stand-alone safety improvement projects — to your organization/area of responsibility​
