Over the last two decades across the globe we have seen a multitude
of programs, projects and books to help improve the safety of
patient care in healthcare. However, the full potential of these
has not yet been reached. Most of the current approaches are top
down, programmatic and target driven. These look at problems in
isolation one harm at a time with simplistic solutions that fail to
support a holistic, systematic approach. They are focused on
collecting incident data and learning from failure using tools that
are not fit for purpose in a complex nonlinear system. Very rarely
do the solutions help build the conditions, cultures and behaviours
that support a safer system and help the people involved work
safely. Healthcare is stuck in a relentlessly negative approach to
safety. Those working in patient safety and healthcare are
struggling, and books on patient safety to date instruct the reader
to continue doing the same things we have been doing for the last
20 years. This book uniquely combines the latest thinking in
safety, including creating a balanced approach to learning from
what works as a way to understand why it fails, together with the
evidence on building a just culture, positive workplaces and
working relationships that we now know are so important for safety.
It helps people understand how to address issues despite their
complexities and improve safety with practical ways to truly
understand what day to day healthcare work is actually like, rather
than what people imagine it is like. This book builds on the
author's first book Rethinking Patient Safety which exposed what we
need to do differently to truly transform our approach to patient
safety. It updates the reader further on the concepts explored in
the first book but also vitally helps readers understand the 'how'.
Implementing Patient Safety goes beyond the rhetoric and provides
the reader with ideas and examples for how the latest thinking can
actually be achieved. It is based on the author's personal
experience of leading a national culture change campaign in the
National Health Service for five years. The lessons arise from
helping hundreds of organisations and people rethink and implement
a whole new way of thinking about improving patient safety in
healthcare.
