IOM Six Aims for Improving Health Care Safety and Quality
AIM DescriptionSafe Avoiding injury and harm to patientsTimely Reducing waitsEffective Care based on evidenceEfficient Avoiding wasteEquitable Quality does not vary because of gender,
ethnicity, socioeconomic factors or geographic status
Patient-centered
Respectful and responsive care based on patient values

High Reliability Organizations (HRO)
Organizations that have cultures of safety, foster a learning environment and evidence-based care, promote positive working environments for nurses, and are committed to improving the safety and quality of care are considered to be high reliability organizations
HRO

High Reliability Organizations (HRO):CharacteristicsCharacteristics of HROs include:
having a safety and quality-centered culture direct involvement of top and middle
leadership safety and quality efforts aligned with the
strategic planan established infrastructure for safety and
continuous improvement and active engagement of staff across the organization

Components of a HROA health care setting is composed of a large set of interacting systems, often referred to as the Macrosystem.
The smaller units are known as Microsystems. admissionsemergency departmentinpatient unitsambulatory units and operating roomdietaryenvironmental services, etc.

Microsystems- are a small group of people who work together on
a regular basis to provide care to discrete subpopulations of patients. It has clinical and business aims, linked processes, and a shared information environment, and it produces performance outcomes. Microsystems evolve over time and are often embedded in larger organizations. They are complex adaptive systems, and as such they must do the primary work associated with core aims, meet the needs of internal staff, and maintain themselves over time as clinical units.

Organizational factors associated with high performance (Keroack et al, 2011)
79 academic medical centers, 2003-2004Factors assessed: safety, mortality, clinical
effectiveness, equity of careSix institutions studied: 3 top, 3 averageTop levels of performance could result in 150
fewer deaths per year

Key findingsShared sense of purpose
‘Patient care comes first’Leaders are dissatisfied with status quoService excellence part of focus on quality, safety
Accountability system for service, quality, safety (SQS)Prioritizing, developing measures and setting goals
are centralized, while tactics are decentralizedChairs accept responsibility for SQS in departmentsAccountability, innovation and redundancy at the unit

Key findings (cont)Collaboration
The basic relationship among administration, nurses, physicians and other staff
Frequent recognition of employee contributions at all levels Employees [and physicians] value each other’s critical
knowledge when problem solvingLeadership style
CEO is passionate re: service, quality, safety (SQS)Everyday events are connected via stories to SQSGovernance structures minimize conflicts among missions Institution is led as an alliance between executive
leadership team and clinical chairs

Key findings (cont)Focus on results
Relentless effort to improveResults outweigh the approach to performance
improvementFocus on human behavior and work redesignTechnology is accelerator, not substitute for
work redesign

Culture of SafetyWithin a healthcare setting, each discipline can have a different culture, as can each patient care area…so can each individual person
In a culture of safety, the focus is on effective teamwork to accomplish the goal of safe, high-quality patient care.

Elements of a Culture of Safety establishing safety as an organizational priority teamwork patient involvement openness/transparency accountability shared core values and goals non-punitive responses to adverse events and errors adequate education and training

Elements of a Culture of SafetyA safety culture requires strong, committed leadership, and engagement and empowerment of all employees. It entails periodic assessment of the culture and relationship between the organization culture and the quality and safety within the organization

IOM:How to Improve Patient Safety?
The IOM described 9 categories that provide opportunities to improve patient safety:
![Page 19: High reliability organizations](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815d90550346895dcba3f0/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
1. User-centered DesignApproaches include making things visible so the user is able to see actions possible at any time, affordance, constraints and forcing-functions.
![Page 20: High reliability organizations](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815d90550346895dcba3f0/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
![Page 21: High reliability organizations](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815d90550346895dcba3f0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
2. Avoid Reliance on MemoryStandardizing and simplifying procedures and tasks decreases the demand on memory, planning, and problem-solving.
![Page 22: High reliability organizations](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815d90550346895dcba3f0/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
3. Attend to Work SafetyWork hours, work-loads, staffing ratios, distractions, and counterclockwise shift changes all affect patient safety.
![Page 23: High reliability organizations](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815d90550346895dcba3f0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
4. Avoid Reliance on VigilanceChecklists, well-designed alarms, rotating staff and breaks decrease the need for remaining vigilant for long periods.
![Page 24: High reliability organizations](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815d90550346895dcba3f0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
5. Training Concepts for TeamsTraining programs for effective interprofessional communication and collaboration include transitions in care and hand-offs.
![Page 25: High reliability organizations](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815d90550346895dcba3f0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
6. Involve Patients in Their CarePatients and families should be in the center of the care process.
![Page 26: High reliability organizations](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815d90550346895dcba3f0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
7. Anticipate the UnexpectedReorganization and organization-wide changes result in new patterns and processes of care.
![Page 27: High reliability organizations](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062410/56815d90550346895dcba3f0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
8. Design for RecoveryErrors will occur despite the best of planning.
Designing and planning for recovery will allow reversal or make it hard to carry out irreversible critical functions.

9. Improve Access to Accurate, Timely Information
Information for decision making needs to be available at the point of care.
