Best Practice Tips inSafety Event Classification
� Identify a consistent group of people to serve as a “Safety Event Review Panel” to provide expertise, consistency, and integrity in event classification. The group should be a mix of clinicians and methodology experts and senior enough to gain organizational trust.
� When classifying an event, use the SEC algorithm and always ask ALL the questions – e.g. Was there a deviation? Did the deviation reach the patient? What was the level of harm?
� Charge one person with the responsibility for thinking/asking about precedent.
Slide 8
Best Practice Tips inSafety Event Classification
� Keep a record of challenging event classification cases and classification rationale. This record provides a useful reference when assessing similar future cases and enables the group to look at changes in their own perspectives in event classification.
� What happens in the discussions, stays in the discussions. The group speaks with one voice outside the meetings.

Beyond SSER – The SSE+PSER
with permission of Holy Redeemer Health System
The SSE+PSER…� Prevents complacency during
long event-free stretches� Heightens awareness of the
wealth of learning opportunities from “lesser events”
At Holy Redeemer:� The SSER and SSE+PSER is
monitored at the Board and Senior Leader levels.
� The SSE to PSE ratio at this Holy Redeemer division is 1:16. (In a state of optimal reporting health, the ratio likely is 1:100 or more.)

Share Safety Success StoriesEnvironmental Services Associate Speaks Up For Safety
While going about her daily duties of cleaning a patient room, Janice, an EnvironmentalServices Associate observed a physician and nurse enter the room and prepare toperform a minor procedure. She knew the hospital’s rule about site verification before aprocedure, yet noticed that the team was about to proceed without the verification. Janicepolitely questioned the physician and nurse, “Shouldn’t we verify the site before theprocedure?” The physician and nurse thanked the Associate and verified the site. Bybeing aware of what was going on around her and being willing to speak up, Janicehelped ensure that the procedure was performed on the correct site.

CHA High Reliability Leadership Methods
Build and Reinforce AccountabilityLeaders make reliability a reality by building a culture of collegial teamwork where sound practice habits are adopted by all to reduce human error. Leaders reinforce good habits, correct poor ones, never punish honest mistakes, yet are not afraid to hand out fair consequences to those who choose to adopt reckless behaviors.- Rounding to Influence with 5:1 Feedback- Fair and Just Accountability using the Performance Management Decision Guide- Red Rules to Communicate Safety Absolutes- Safety Coaches
Find and Fix System CausesLeaders remove barriers that impede team members from performing effectively and take active steps to find and fix the holes in the Swiss Cheese before they lead to patient or employee harm.- Daily Safety Check-in - Pre-Task and After-Action Huddles- Start the Clock on Safety Critical Issues - Leadership workgroups- Top 10 Lists with Action Plans - Unit Top 2 & Patient Communication Boards
Set the Tone of Safety as a Core ValueLeaders show the way by setting expectations and setting good examples. Leaders model, inspire, train and encourage team members to keep themselves and others safe each and every day.- Safety First in Every Meeting - Thank those who Voice Safety Concerns- Safety First in Decisions – What’s best for the Patient? - Communicate Lessons from Safety Events- Encourage Error, Problem and Event Reporting - Educate for Safety Every Day

Start the Clock on Safety-Critical Issues
� Start the Clock sense of urgency� These are the clock ticker issues – issues that pose a significant threat.
They may be local or global in nature.
� Mobilize those with the expertise to solve the problem and authority to empower action using Condition-Problem-Cause solving� Priority for resolution should be stated (e.g. solved today, solved within
24 hrs); a single-point owner should be identified; the owner should have an action plan; and the issues should be tracked at Daily Check In.
Start the Clock Response to Safety Critical Issuesat Community Health North
For these types of issues, Barb Summers at Community was known to request, “Page me by 3:00 pm today with a status report.” Her rationale was twofold – to demonstrate the sense of urgency and to be made aware of any barriers to resolution that may need to be addressed before close of business.

The Enemy:First Order Problem-Solving
1. “When staff encounter a problem they do what it takes to continue the planned (patient care) task.”– secure the material needed,– don’t probe into what caused the problem to occur– don’t spend time reporting the incident– don’t seek to investigate or change the cause– feel “good” for providing the needed service even though there are
problems with the system
2. “When necessary for continuity of patient care – staff ask for help from people who are socially close rather than from those who were best equipped to correct the problem.”– preserves individual’s reputation regarding their competence– allows avoidance of unpleasant encounters with cantankerous
physicians or managers as long as possible– all but precludes addressing underlying causes that might improve
the system

Second Order Problem-SolvingAn HRO approach for staff
“When you encounter a problem do what it takes to rectify the condition, continue the planned (patient care) task, and begin problem and cause solving.”
� take immediate remedial actions if necessary� ask where else this condition could exist and take remedial
actions� communicate to the person or department responsible for the
condition� report the problem� share ideas about what caused the situation and how to prevent
recurrence� participate in implementing the needed changes� help verify that the changes have had the desired effect

Second Order Problem-SolvingAn HRO Approach for Leaders
“When you become aware of a problem do what it takes to rectify the condition and solve the cause.”
� be regularly available for al least part of shift(s)� respond in a non-punitive manner – eliminate fear and ridicule� verify remedial actions were appropriate� counteract “time-pressure” by providing assistance for front-line
problem solving efforts� create a psychologically safe environment – admit your own
mistakes� follow through on employee suggestions and provide feedback� “own” cause analysis� verify changes had the desired effect

HPI Lessons-Learned
� “Physicians do not make safety transformation happen but they can prevent it from happening.”
� More accurately stated:
“No hospital can achieve a state of highreliability without the full engagement of the
medical staff. True physician leadership, optimally from the outset, is required to achieve and sustain a safe
environment for patients.”

Critical Impact of Physicians onSafety Transformation
� Significant contribution to errors associated with patient injury� Unequaled impact on hospital morale through their

high degree of teamwork and cross monitoring to get the work done.� At best, good results can
mask lack of leadership involvement.� At worst, practice may
differ sharply from – or, over time, deviate from –best-practice expectations.
Characteristics:� Individuals “hired for fit” –
high degree of motivation to do the right thing.� High degree of teamwork
and cross-monitoring, focused on best-practice standards.� Leader provides real-time,
5:1 feedback; finds and fixes system problems.� Strength in I and P
accountability results in lesser relative L effort.

� Red Rules are a Communication program for leaders- “SO IMPORTANT, we do it each and every time”
- Should reduce “unintended” non-compliance
� Should be used to encourage peers to speak up
- That’s a Red Rule – we need to do it – I’ll help you”
� Red: the highest priority for exact compliance- Compliance must come before any other consideration,
including revenue, speed or personal desire
� There can still be unintended Red Rules violations or Red Rule errors driven by system problems
Red Rules are NOT a discipline program

Performance Management Decision GuideAdapted from James Reason’s Decision Tree for Determining the Culpability of Unsafe Acts and
the Incident Decision Tree of the National Patient Safety Agency (United Kingdom National Health Service)
Did the individual intend the act?
Would individuals in the same profession and with comparable knowledge, skills, and experience act the same under similar circumstances?
Did the individualdepart from policies,
procedures, protocols, or generally accepted
performance expectations?
Is there evidence of ill healthor substance abuse?
Did the individual act with malicious intent
(i.e. to cause individual harm or other damage)?
Were there deficienciesin related training, experience,
or supervision?
Were the policies, procedures, protocols, or performance expectations available, understandable,
workable, and in routine use?
Did the individual have a known medical condition?
Were there significant mitigating circumstances?
Is there evidence that the individual chose to take an
unacceptable risk OR has a trend in poor performance or
decision making?

Fair and Just� When you hear about an event, count to 5 before responding
� Stop & Think before you speak!
� Say, “Thank you” when someone reports an event or error. � Then say, “Let’s understand how that happened…”
� Ask your direct reports to let you know when one of their employees reports an event or error – go thank that person
� Ask about events and errors during Daily Check-In� Train all your leaders on the effective use of the PMDG
� Ask managers if they applied the PMDG when responding to specific events
� Assign HR as the process owner for PMDG implementation� However, ensure all leaders understand Fair and Just is owned by Operations� Ensure the PMDG is officially referenced in HR policies
� Round-To-Influence on the importance of reporting and learning from errors and events� Emphasize the approach you are taking to Fair and Just
� “We don’t punish unintended human error, but there has to be fair consequences when people choose not to comply”

Please provide me with regular progress briefings. I would like a detailed examination of internal and external operating experience. (For example: What opportunities did we fail to make use of to prevent this event? What lessons-learned did we overlook?) In particular, since this case addresses the broader issue of [insert details as appropriate], I would like you to address any recommendations that are relevant from a system perspective. When your analysis is completed, I request that you provide a briefing to senior leadership. Please notify me of any emergent issues associated with the investigation.

What Does It Take?Safety exists as an explicit core value, not an
implicit assumption within the organization.
Vital behaviors for human error prevention that are prescriptive and concrete, not abstract.
The organization rigorously reinforces behavior expectations as work habit and finds and fixes system problems that influence behavior.
