Continued professional development- as an individual, as a ward and as an organisation

Incident/near miss reporting/audits and communicating results across the organisation. 

Open disclosure  -to all staff and patients

Sufficient funding- staffing levels, skill mix, education and training.

Teamwork/collaboration- as a unit, as an organisation, with patients, across professions and across specialty areas

Reflective/debriefing practice- as individuals, as a team, as an organisation.

Safety requires management support to ensure procedure is followed and it requires team players working towards common goals.
That means structure: rules = rewards.
They may be intrinsic--self-satisfaction or extrinsic--monetary or public praise.

Discipline should be fair and corrective to prevent further erring. Blame should be avoided, but rather open disclosure to prevent future incidences.

Leadership that combines these factors will have a strong committed workforce that thrives on calculated risk, innovation, wellness promotion for patients and self, and stringent checks to ensure no one person uses selfish motivations, or careless activities to place patients, team members or the organisation in harms way.

Communication is most effective in deliver safety culture in health care settings as  it comprises a combination of top-down and bottom-up interaction. Commitment and cooperation are also key points for safety culture.Cooperation means working together to develop a strong safety program. Coaching is another good way for safety culture - peer to peer, supervisor to employee, even employee to management— is an important way to keep everyone on track. In addition, Formal training empower employees to feel prepared to safely do their jobs. Chunhua Zhu

A no-blame workplace culture supports openness, honesty and support for each other, and promotes patient safety and fosters learning and education opportunities. 

Sharing incidents, including near-misses promotes a culture of incident prevention and keeps safety at the forefront of the clinicians mind such as sharing recent incidents with our colleagues at handover etc.

Effective leadership who: are committed to safe practice; are concerned for the impact of hazards on staff and patients; who value safety over productivity; who make their values known to their staff; and LEAD BY EXAMPLE.

Commitment to continuous learning: feedback & reflection; encourage questioning among staff; and celebrate success.

Use of data: willingness to collect and use data re. near misses and adverse events; encourage self-reporting as the norm and not used as a blame mechanism.

Flexibility: delegate to frontline staff (e.g. get them to complete audits); and appropriate use of skills.

Just and fair response to adverse events: non-blame culture; recognition of inter-dependency of systems and individuals in causation of adverse events; non-putinitive response to errors; and appropriate attribution when mistakes occur.

Effective teamwork: good communication within and between teams (i.e. nursing, allied health, medical and managerial); value MDT; and mutual respect.

Openness and honesty: disclosure of adverse events within or between teams and with patients and their families.

Willingness to commit to resources: sufficient staff, time and financial resources allocated to improving and maintaining safety; effective use of appropriate incentives to improve safety culture.

I think there are many characteristics that make up a strong safety culture within healthcare.

Within a healthcare organisation I believe that a strong safety culture is developed through good management and effective leadership. Through open communication that is open, honest and transparent as well as timely and purposeful.

Team work, education, professionalism, encouragement, support.

Audits measuring performance and evaluating the results, assessing where there is room for improvement, goal setting and sharing the same vision and commitment to providing the highest standard of care to our community. ]]> 2021-05-17 11:05:33 UTC https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/95t4r00shqoi4zph/wish/1530711831 Characteristics of strong safety culture. https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/95t4r00shqoi4zph/wish/1533471428 - Engaged and effective leadership that approaches incidents in a way that supports staff rather than scapegoating them when incidents occur. 

- Culture that values safe practice and normalises and supports the reporting of incidents. Where it is 'safe' for clinicians to come forward and talk and report incidents. 

- Where open disclosure is an expected outcome of these incident reports.

This is a great description of how humans naturally learn behaviours to either 'fit in ' or survive in a given situation. 

Given this, it is important to have really clear processes in place that outline what is expected, how to manage problems and dangers, how to managed actual harm., how to record and report information. If this is not all in place people naturally default to their own internal ideas, which can cause a minefield of misunderstandings and uncertainty - which is the nemesis of a culture of safety.]]> 2021-06-05 03:42:37 UTC https://padlet.com/postgraduate_futures/95t4r00shqoi4zph/wish/1586609098
