Why Focus on Culture? Improvements in Patient Safety have been slow and incomplete despite a substantial national effort for over a decade*Chassin MR Health Affairs. 2013;10:1761
Most improvement to date have primarily focused on tools and and processes
Why Focus on Culture? • Improvement has been inconsistent, variably sustained, sometimes mis-directed, and susceptible to work-arounds • Insufficient effort on understanding why errors continue despite using “best practices”
Organizational Culture “The way we do things around here”
Patient Safety Culture • One aspect of an organization's culture • The shared values, beliefs, norms, and procedures related to patient safety • Provides cues about the relative priority of patient safety with other goals (e.g. efficiency) • Informs perceptions about what is praised and what is punished *Weaver et. Al. Ann Intern Med 2013;158:369
The Relationship Between Culture and Outcomes • Better performance in safety climate surveys correlates with better outcomes*Singer S et al. Health Serv Res 2009;44:399 • Targeted interventions (team training, leader rounding, CUSP) can improve patient safety climate • Emerging evidence suggests that improvements in safety climate may correlate with better patient outcomes* Morello RT et al. BMJ Qual Saf 2013;1:11.
