Learn how to develop a culture of safety in health care
Hospital middle managers and nurse educators are encouraged to attend this one-day workshop to learn about creating a culture of safety.
Recent Institute of Medicine reports, including the 1999 report “To Err is Human,” have drawn attention to the continued need to address safety and quality issues in health care. High reliability organizations (HROs) are able to reduce errors through culture changes and technology while working in an inherently high-stress, high-tempo environment.
“Developing a Culture of Safety in Health Care: The Benefits of Becoming a High Reliability Organization” will take place Wednesday, June 24 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at George Mason University in Fairfax.
This one-day workshop, designed for hospital middle managers and nurse educators, will provide a basis for understanding how adopting HRO operational practices can help create a culture of safety, reduce the number of errors, and meet safety, quality, and efficiency goals.
