2016 Patient Safety & Quality Symposium: Hardwiring for High Reliability
A high reliability organization is one that has succeeded in avoiding catastrophes in an environment where normal accidents can be expected due to risk factors and complexity. This year’s Symposium theme – Hardwiring for High Reliability – focuses on reaching far and wide through your organization. You’re on the right path, you have a plan and you’ve implemented it but how do you ingrain it in every person in the organization? Join us to learn ways to move from “almost” to “always.”
