Right way or Highway
Health care at the cross roads;
To identify opportunities for improvement and identification of
risks is important but early identification is our goal, as early
intervention can be considered before actually they inflicts harm. All
care providers in the Health care organization facility management
services included has to serve as a responsible safety advocates. It
doesn’t reduce the personal accountability and discipline rather it
emphasizes the learning from the errors and near misses to reduce errors
in future. The greatest errors is not to report a mistake timely and
keeping it obscured not only allows harms to happen but also thereby
prevent future learning. No matter what obstacles a healthcare
organization faces - from disasters to competitive and economic
pressures - having rigorous operational processes in place can help
leaders maintain stability, improve performance, and achieve strategic
objectives of continuous improvement in Healthcare so always welcome a
change for better. Establishing and aligning culture of team work,
motivation or filling gaps in safety and accountability is a “notion”
of shared values (what is important) and behavioral norms (the way
things are done ) is the best defense against potential harm in health
care.
