I hate when I hear this. Perhaps nothing is more detrimental to a culture of safety than the belief that 'we're safer than most places.'

Those seeking high reliability are preoccupied with the possibility of failure today, not the 'safety' they enjoyed yesterday.

Interestingly, #PsychSafety created at the intermediate organizational units mitigates the “swoosh” of psychological safety loss among new team members

Had a great time presenting the #CPPS review course today with Kara Lyven at the #IHICongress at Gaylord Palms Resort & Water Park.
Inspiring to see so many healthcare professionals committed to #patientsafety .

Hospitals & healthcare systems have patient safety officers, but more importantly, we need safety officers at the unit & department levels, where the majority of the critical safety work occurs.

I’ve started reading more and more on software / tech development, and it’s interesting how much overlap there is & how much they have right that applies directly to #patientsafety

From dr. nicole forsgren, Jez Humble, & Gene Kim’s book Accelerate (2018):

Looking forward to presenting the Certified Professional in Patient Safety (CPPS) Review Course & talking about Catalyzing your Safety Journey with the CPPS Credential at the #IHICongress - next week!!

Happy #NursesWeek ! 💙 A heartfelt shout-out from our Chief Nursing Officer, Kelley Gonzalvo, as she expresses her sincere gratitude to our committed nursing staff.

Psychological safety hasn't always been a well known term, and this week in the #psychologicalsafety newsletter we have a little look at its increase in popularity, and what events and publications correlate with that.

Thinking about what Kaveh Shojania said, as quoted by SuzetteWoodward 💙
It's tempting to think of it as hyperbole but:
We still collect too much & do too little (PMID: 26347519)
And we're still far from passing the orange-wire test (PMID: 15519618)

Thank you so much Tom Geraghty for giving me space to share the power of apology at work!

Guess whose daughter just got a giant bracelet making kit?
So far, the results have been much better [for me] than when she got that giant makeup kit.

In high-stakes contexts, clear and effective communication can be the difference between safety and disaster.

That's where the PACE framework can come in, to Probe, Alert, Challenge and communicate an Emergency.

What if #psychologicalsafety is lacking when it's needed most?🤔Our latest study suggests that new employees enjoy high psychological safety but lose it over time. Check out my new Academy of Management Discoveries paper with Amy Edmondson and @MichaelaJune👇
