In a blog post, Greg Goyne, vice president of marketing at IntelliCentrics, shared seven ways hospital and health systems leaders can promote a culture of safety within their organization.
1. Publicly support patient safety efforts.
2. Empower staff members to take control of patient safety, and institute accountability.
3. Involve all relevant staffers or stakeholders in patient safety efforts.
4. All staff members should feel responsible for identifying any potential safety issues.
5. All staff members, including C-suite leaders, must follow all safety rules and regulations.
6. Executives should ensure any employee with a safety concern has an accessible, non-punitive avenue for expressing that concern.
7. The C-suite must continue to make patient safety a priority and follow through on all initiatives.
