What is a patient safety culture?

“A culture in which healthcare professionals are held accountable for unprofessional conduct, yet not

punished for human mistakes; errors are identified and mitigated before harm occurs; and systems are in

place to enable staff to learn from errors and near-misses and prevent recurrence”(AHRQ PSNet Safety Culture – 2014)

Leaders (Surgeons) and Culture

Leaders have 4 main responsibilities:1. Guard the learning system – transparency, applying

improvement and reliability science, and inspiring staff2. Creating psychological safety – making sure everyone

including patients/families can voice concerns3. Fostering trust – creating environment of non-

Psychological Safety

• Originated with James Reason’s book,

Managing the Risks of Organizational

Accidents.

• Popularized by Amy Edmondson’s book,

Teaming

It is more than “I can speak up

about concerns”

Accountability

We are held accountable for our

actions, but we are not accountable

for system flaws!

• Comes together with psychological safety

– You can’t have true psychological safety

without accountability

Fair and Just Culture

• Requires a simple and precise algorithm

– Fosters an environment in which staff members

accept responsibility for their own actions…

– But know the organization will treat them fairly and

not blame them for things out of their control

• The literature presents a few different

accountability algorithms

– David Marx, Just Culture Algorithm

– James Reason, Incident Decision Tree

Learning from Google: Building

the Perfect Culture• Project Aristotle

– Multimillion-dollar project conducted from

2012-2014

– Data gathered and assessed from 180

different Google teams

– No patterns of types of team members

detected why some teams succeeded and

others failed

Learning from Google: Building

the Perfect Culture• “Group Norms” or unwritten and often

unspoken rules guiding behavior were

identified as the key to success

– Culture = Group Norms

• Who is on a team matters less than how

the team members interact, structure their

work, and view their contributions

Valuable Culture Lesson

Technical expertise alone is

inadequate to keep our patients

safe, non-technical skills are just as

important
