The UNTHSC Institute for Patient Safety and the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, South Central Region housed at the Gibson D. Lewis Library would like to invite you to join us for the next session of our new webinar series.
This 1 hour series co-sponsored by NNLM SCR and UNTHSC IPS will focus on topics related to the field of patient safety and health care quality. Through this series, we hope to empower health care professionals, patients, and health information professionals to support the elimination of preventable harm and achieve the highest quality in health care possible. Sessions will be scheduled quarterly and topics chosen based on current trends in patient care.
Jessica Maack Rangel, MS, RN, Senior Fellow and Nurse Executive for the UNTHSC Institute for Patient Safety, will present Tipping the Culture in Healthcare – Mass Communication and Impacting Perception at 1pm CT on Tuesday, May 15th. Details on joining the meeting are available at the event link below. No registration is required, and the session is free to any interested parties.
Session Description: The healthcare industry has worked diligently to achieve improved and sustained patient safety outcomes; however, the impact of these efforts on improvement measures has been insufficient, especially when compared to high reliability organizations such as aviation and nuclear power industries. What’s the difference, and what can healthcare learn from these organizations? This session is designed to be a thought-provoking appeal to examine healthcare messaging and its impact on patient safety. High reliability principles imbued with an interprofessional approach to communication design can make a difference. “Every system is perfectly designed to achieve the outcomes it gets.” Let’s tip the culture in a direction that drives safety.
