ForwardSaferCare Texas: 2023-25 High Reliability Organizations
Over the last two decades, patient safety improvement efforts in healthcare have focused on the hospital setting. There is growing evidence that illustrates patient harm often begins in medical office settings resulting in preventable harm. To begin to address this issue, education on Just Culture and High-Reliability Organization (HRO) principles is needed to ensure the medical office environment fosters transparency in event reporting, balanced accountability, and a focus on a preoccupation with failure and sensitivity to daily operations.
Target Audience
This activity is intended for clinicians, mid-level and executive healthcare leadership, health profession students, and any other persons interested in High-Reliability Organizations.
