Welcome to the instructor's guide for the second edition of High Reliability Organizations: A Healthcare Handbook for Patient Safety & Quality. This guide is designed to be a resource for educators in a variety of academic settings in courses focused on patient safety or quality management in nursing, health services administration, or clinical programs. This instructor's guide is divided into three sections: Unit 1: Using the Textbook for Teaching and Learning Unit 2: Resources for Teaching High Reliability for Patient Safety and Quality Unit 3: Chapter Learning Activities and Instructor Support This guide provides suggestions to guide faculty, nurse leaders, clinical staff nurses, quality and safety staff, or other healthcare professionals who are teaching others about the application of HRO principles to patient safety and quality problems using the second edition of High Reliability Organizations: A Healthcare Handbook for Patient Safety & Quality. For academic faculty, the chapter-by-chapter learning activities will help facilitate student learning about application of high reliability to patient safety and quality and can be used as part of a patient safety and quality course at a variety of academic levels. The student workbook contains the same chapter-by-chapter learning activities found in the instructor's guide.

Patient safety and quality of care are critical concerns of healthcare consumers, payers, providers, organizations, health systems, and governments. Although a strong body of knowledge shows that high reliability methods enable the most efficient, safe, and effective care, these methods have yet to be completely implemented across healthcare. According to authors Cynthia Oster and Jane Braaten, nurses—who are on the frontline of providing safe and effective care—are ideally situated to drive high reliability. High Reliability Organizations: A Healthcare Handbook for Patient Safety & Quality, Second Edition, equips nurses and healthcare professionals with the tools necessary to establish an error detection and prevention system. This new edition builds on the foundation of the first book with best practices, relevant exemplars, and important discussions about cultural aspects essential to sustainability. New material focuses on: · High reliability performance during a pandemic · Organizational learning and tiered safety huddles · High reliability in infection prevention and ambulatory care · The emerging field of human factors engineering within healthcare · Creating a virtual resource toolkit for frontline staff

Equips nurses and healthcare professionals with the tools necessary to establish an error detection and prevention system. Includes Instructor's Guide and Student Workbook.
