Learning Objective 1: Describe an interdisciplinary process for developing solutions and achieving desirable outcomes regarding point of service patient safety concerns.
Learning Objective 2: Identify an intervention that advances collaborative relationships while allowing administrators, nurse leaders and the patient care to explore all relevant patient safety perspectives.
The result was an innovative, proactive strategy that has been implemented in three of the hospital’s busiest and highest acuity patient care areas. The approach exemplifies the organization’s commitment to building a culture of patient safety through shared leadership, accountability, rapid cycle solutions and measurable outcomes. The PSER concept was adapted from the Institute of Healthcare Improvement and The University of Michigan Hospitals and Health Centers and was developed and implemented to demonstrate the organization's commitment to building a culture of safety and to provide opportunities for senior executives to learn about patient safety concerns at the point of care.
The program is a highly interactive and engaging six to eight week process that promotes interdisciplinary team feedback about patient safety concerns through multiple venues with the goal of fueling the team's desire to be active participants in creating a culture of patient safety.
