Culture of Safety Description
Objectives
Transforming the organizational culture is critical to improving patient safety. The trend of providers focusing on learning from past mistakes rather than pointing the finger when something goes wrong is positive. Components of a safe culture include:
- Patient Safety Dialogues
- Blameless Reporting
- Engaged Leadership
Project Team
The project team consists of physicians, nurses, and Iowa experts in patient safety. The resource team for this project also includes representatives of the Iowa Foundation for Medical Care and the VA Central Iowa Health Care System.
