Impactful insight! A must read to understand how quality and safety are impacted from the frontline staff, to the responsibility of leadership, and the board/trustees in an organization when events happen. Leadership and the board set the “culture of safety”.

Quality is vital to the success of an organization but most importantly to the safety of our patients/communities. Hence, the reason for why the governing board is delegated such high authority. It’s so crucial to ensure board members are well versed with the standards, know the vision/ values of an organization and align the initiates with those values. Lastly, that there is plenty of time allocated to discuss and analyze quality reports. What are your thoughts?

Excellent step by step approach for leaders to drive safety initiatives in healthcare.

Great article about the imperative need for a governing board to value quality and safety. In the book "Zero Harm," Craig Clapper PE , James Merlino, MD , and Carole Stockmeier discuss this exact topic. They say that If quality and safety is not defined as core value for the organization and simply discussed as a priority, commitment and safety culture through the Frontline will continue to be a challenge. Priorities change. Safety and quality are not the flavor of the month. https://lnkd.in/e_4SUvg4

It is quite important for organisations to differentiate between the roles of governance body vs senior leadership to maintain high quality of outcome. The governing body responsibilities lies on active engagement in oversight, determine and secure the necessary resources, where the senior leadership is responsible for directing day-to-day operations and activities.
