ForwardDennis Burke Quality and Safety Lecture: Safety Culture in the Time of the Pandemic
Patient safety culture refers to the habits and practices within a healthcare organization that support safe, high quality patient care and high reliability. It’s the product of individual and group values, attitudes, perceptions, and beliefs, which determine commitment to health and safety management. The literature shows a positive association between high safety culture scores and improved outcomes – such as fewer medication errors, lower staff burnout, and higher employee morale.
Target Audience
This activity is intended for physicians, nurses, and other members of the healthcare team within Mass General Brigham.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Explain ways in which the COVID 19 pandemic impacted patient safety and patient safety culture across all role groups in healthcare.
- Discuss strategies institutions and leaders can implement to help enhance the culture of patient safety as we continue to emerge from the pandemic.
- Discuss the role of leaders in promoting safe, high quality patient care and high reliability across interdisciplinary teams.
