In an e-book, “First, Do No Harm,” Hogan Assessment Systems shares three ways healthcare providers can improve patient safety by focusing on people and culture:
1. Start with staff. Organizations should hire staff with both the clinical and personal skills needed to provide high-quality, safe care.
2. Change the culture. Healthcare leaders can create a patient safety culture by gaining staff buy-in to new processes and improving communication during transitions of care.
3. Put people over profits. Healthcare leaders should focus on improving safety first, and savings will follow.
