Their mission is to achieve zero harm in the healthcare industry, a lofty goal that some hospitals have already accomplished--which you can, too.
Combining the latest advances in safety science, data technology, and high reliability solutions, this step-by-step guide shows you how to implement 6 simple principles in your workplace.

Transform culture and leadership.6. Focus on accountability and execution. In Zero Harm, the world's leading safety experts share practical, day-to-day solutions that combine the latest tools and technologies in healthcare today with the best safety practices from high-risk, yet high-reliability industries, such as aviation, nuclear power, and the United States military. Using these field-tested methods, you can develop new leadership initiatives, educate workers on the universal skills that can save lives, organize and train safety action teams, implement reliability management systems, and create long-term, transformational change. You'll read case studies and success stories from your industry colleagues--and discover the most effective ways to utilize patient data, information sharing, and other up-to-the-minute technologies. It's a complete workplace-ready program that's proven to reduce preventable errors and produce measurable results--by putting the patient, and safety, first.
