Event Description:

Join this live educational event to learn how a hospital system applied high reliability organization (HRO) principles to improve its daily leadership huddles and reporting of safety events to identify opportunities in real-time. After renewing its focus on leadership engagement in patient safety, the Tier 2 Safety Huddle (T2SH) project was initiated with goals to encourage open and transparent reporting of events, drive high reliable performance, proactively identify and mitigate risk, and aggressively pursue zero harm. A core team of quality, safety, and risk management department members designed and implemented this process and have made enhancements such as adding “Mindful Considerations” and department-based Governance Councils within the past year. HRO theory is based on how organizations working with complex and hazardous systems operate error-free. The five central principles include (1) sensitivity to operations, (2) preoccupation with failure, (3) reluctance to simplify, (4) resilience, and (5) deference to expertise.
