High reliability is the study of human performance in complex systems. In this course, physician leaders explore systems thinking, analysis of serious safety events and techniques to minimize mistakes. The curriculum covers strategies and tactics to change organizational culture, improve team performance and exhibit leadership behaviors. 

Topics include:

  • How human error and latent system weaknesses combine to cause loss events in health care
  • How culture shapes behavior
  • The five behavior-shaping factors of reliable systems (structure, protocol, culture, process and intuitive environment)
  • The three steps to culture change (and creating a culture that stops to fix problems)
  • Models for making problems visible — incident reporting, stopping the line, visual control and simplified data presentation

Course Objectives

  • Define reliability, and describe how reliability can be measured and expressed.
  • Describe how human errors and latent system weaknesses combine to cause events using Reason’s Swiss Cheese Effect.
  • Describe how culture can shape behavior and prevent human error using Cook and Wood’s Sharp End model.
  • Provide examples of the five (5) behavior-shaping factors and three (3) steps to culture change.
  • Explain both safety and leader behaviors, and their selection process, within a hospital, service line or single unit.
  • Examine leader behaviors and their use within high reliability organizations.
  • Recognize impactful culture change opportunities (e.g., incident reporting, stopping the line, visual control, data movement/presentation, pattern recognition)
