Publisher's Summary

From the nation's leading experts in healthcare safety - the first comprehensive guide to delivering care that ensures the safety of patients and staff alike. One of the primary tenets among healthcare professionals is “First, do no harm”. Achieving this goal means ensuring the safety of both patient and caregiver. Every year in the United States alone, an estimated 4.8 million hospital patients suffer serious harm that is preventable. To address this industry-wide problem - and provide evidence-based solutions - a team of award-winning safety specialists from Press Ganey/Healthcare Performance Improvement have applied their decades of experience and research to the subject of patient and workforce safety. Their mission is to achieve zero harm in the healthcare industry, a lofty goal that some hospitals have already accomplished - which you can, too.

Combining the latest advances in safety science, data technology, and high reliability solutions, this step-by-step guide shows you how to implement six simple principles in your workplace. 

1. Commit to the goal of zero harm.

2. Become more patient-centric.

3. Recognize the interdependency of safety, quality, and patient-centricity.

4. Adopt good data and analytics.

5. Transform culture and leadership.

6. Focus on accountability and execution. 

In Zero Harm, the world's leading safety experts share practical day-to-day solutions that combine the latest tools and technologies in healthcare today with the best safety practices from high-risk yet high-reliability industries, such as aviation, nuclear power, and the United States military. Using these field-tested methods, you can develop new leadership initiatives, educate workers on the universal skills that can save lives, organize and train safety action teams, implement reliability management systems, and create long-term, transformational change. You'll hear case studies and success stories from your industry colleagues - and discover the most effective ways to utilize patient data, information sharing, and other up-to-the-minute technologies. It's a complete workplace-ready program that's proven to reduce preventable errors and produce measurable results-by putting the patient, and safety, first.
