Objective 1.
What is a Safety Culture?
5
•LEARNED,1 enduring, shared, beliefs and behaviors that reflect an organization’s willingness to learn from errors2
•Patient safety has a high relative importance to other organizational goals (i.e. productivity)3
•Four beliefs present in a safe, informed culture4
1. Our processes are designed to prevent failure
2. We are committed to detect and learn from error
3. We have a just culture that disciplines based on risk
4. People who work in teams make fewer errors

Three Levels of Organizational Culture1
“…values reflect desired behavior but are not reflected in observed behavior.” (Schein, 2010, pp. 24, 27)
Behaviors
Beliefs & Values
Underlying Assumptions
Observed Communication Behavior: 29% agree, “Staff feel free to question decisions or actions of those with more authority.”
Belief: Belief about Communication:60% agree, “Staff will speak up if they see something that will negatively affect patient care.”
Assumption: Safety is a system property but I will be attached if I speak up. Staff and providers should work together as a team to achieve results (patient safety and clinical outcomes)

Reason’s Components4 HSOPS Dimension or Outcome Measure
Reporting Culture - a safe organization is dependent on the willingness of front-line workers to report their errors and near-misses
•Frequency of Events Reported (U)
•Number of Events Reported (O)
Just Culture - management will support and reward reporting; discipline occurs based on risk-taking
•Nonpunitive Response to Error (U)
O=Outcome Measure, U=Unit, H=Hospital

Reason’s Components4 HSOPS Dimension or Outcome Measure
Flexible Culture - authority patterns relax when safety information is exchanged because those with authority respect the knowledge of front-line workers
•Teamwork w/in Units (U)
•Staffing (U)
•Communication Openness (U)
•Teamwork ax Units (H)
•Hospital Handoffs (H)
Learning Culture -organization will analyze reported information and then implement appropriate change
•Hospital Mgt Support (H)
•Manager Actions (U)
•Feedback & Communication (U)
•Organizational Learning (U)
•Overall Perceptions (U)
•Patient Safety Grade (O)10
Crosswalk Reason’s Components
The Role of Organizational Culture
Safety Culture7
• A cross cutting contextual factor
• Moderates effectiveness of patient safety interventions
• Associated with adverse events and patient satisfaction
Organizational Culture1
• Allows us to make sense of environment
• Reflects common language… is heard and observed
• Leaders create/teach culture− Share information
− Reward, provide feedback
− Hold people accountable

1. Kotter’s Eight Steps of Change10
Multiple Strategies for Change
CUSP
• Get people’s attention (with stories and data)! – MOS results, harmful events, issues with waste
of time/resources, patient satisfaction, core Measures
• Sell the need for change…and the consequences of not changing to administrators, clinic leaders and managers, clinic providers and staff
• Immerse clinic staff in information about the change
• Empower people to solve problems associated with the change
1. Create a Sense of Urgency10
8/16/2018
7
• Include proven leaders who can drive the change process
– Formal power with high credibility
– Informal opinion leaders
– Interprofessional
– Set expectations for follow through
• Need management and leadership skills
– Management skills control the process and details
– Leadership skills drive the change with a vision
2. Build the Guiding (Change) Team10
…TeamSTEPPS initiative should have a designated executive/leadership sponsor
• Work with leaders to define and communicate your vision for change…
• Defining a culture of safety aligned with expectations, core values, shared beliefs
• Informing the clinic of these values and evaluating the culture
• Leading the process of:
• Translating values into expected behaviors
• Establishing trust and accountability
• Share how this change is consistent with mission and core values
3. Develop the Change Vision and Strategy10
• Includes education and training
• Encourage discussion, dissent, disagreement, debate … keep people talking
• Tell people what you know―and what you don’t know
• Value resisters (NO NO)
– They clarify the problem and identify other problems that need to be solved first
– Their tough questions can strengthen and improve the change
– They may be right―it is a dumb idea!
4. Communicate for Understanding & Buy-In10
…communicate, communicate, communicate…
8/16/2018

It is important to improve teamwork in our organization because: • 1/4 of our nursing staff believe that shift changes
are problematic for patients• 2/3 of our clinical staff do not feel psychologically
safe speaking up to those with more authority when patient safety is at stake
• Only ½ of the staff in the ED agree that there is good cooperation among hospital departments that need to work together.
• RCA identified poor communication during a handoff of a patient from floor to radiology that led to a fall
• Lack of using check-back in a code situation may have contributed to a patient death
4. Communicate Using Talking Points (Data & Stories)
• Train employees so they have the desired skills and attitudes
• Identify personnel with the vision and skills to COACH others
• Manage high-level resisters…how does professor manage NO NO?
5. Empower Others to Act10
An organization cannot be improved from the top only
http://www.kotterinternational.com/our-principles/our-iceberg-is-melting
• Provide positive feedback (shirts, pins)
– Further builds morale and motivation
– Results from debriefs
• Provide feedback to plan next goal
• Create greater difficulty for resisters to block further change
• Provide leadership with evidence of success
6. Produce Short-Term Wins10
8/16/2018
9
• Evaluate your training sessions and learn from the evaluations (form on website) http://www.unmc.edu/patient-safety/teamstepps/toolkit.html
• Reaffirm the vision
• Celebrate successes and accomplishments
• Orient new employees to the tools
• Include in annual training to reinforce behaviors (Overview on website) http://www.unmc.edu/patient-safety/teamstepps/teamstepps-training/index.html
• Communicate, communicate, communicate
• Stay connected to TeamSTEPPS communities (your 14 clinics, UNMC, National Implementation)
7. Don’t Let Up10
• Hard wire the change– Job descriptions
– Performance evaluations– Policies/procedures
• Use language and tools in clinical and nonclinical settings– Managers use the tools
– Leaders call for briefs, huddles, and debriefs
– All monitor the situation to establish situation awareness
– All seek and offer task assistance
– All structure communication with SBAR, Call-out, Check-back and I PASS the BATON
– All structure email communication, document reviews, requests for maintenance with SBAR
8. Create a New Culture
Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance
and Patient Safety
TeamSTEPPS…Innovation to Address Need
2. Comprehensive Unit Based Safety Program (CUSP)11
Innovation: An idea or practice that is perceived as new
Diffusion process: Innovation is communicated through channels over time among members of a social system12

Getting a new idea adopted, even when it has obvious advantages, is difficult. Many innovations require a lengthy period of many years from the time when they become available to the time when they are widely adopted. 12

Download Checklist for Implementing Change from http://www.unmc.edu/patient-safety/teamstepps_toolkit.htm
• Changes in values come at the end of the transformation process
• New behaviors adopted by the laggards after success has been proven by the early adopters
• Feedback and reinforcement are crucial to using the behaviors—adopting
• Sometimes the only way to change culture is to change key people
• Individuals in leadership positions need to walk the walk and talk the talk
Culture Change Comes Last, Not First!10
…Reculturing takes time and it really never ends
Role of Leaders in Transformational Change
• Create a compelling positive vision• Concretely define the goal as a performance
problem…not “changing culture”• Ensure new behaviors are formally taught in
groups• Ensure new behaviors are reinforced
– Provide opportunities for practice, coaching, feedback
– Be a positive role model• Create structures consistent with new way of
thinking/working/behaving

• Safety culture is the learned, shared beliefs and behaviors that reflect organization’s willingness to learn and whether safety is a priority
• There are multiple strategies to use an innovation such as TeamSTEPPS to change your culture; they all have common elements…– Urgency/Engagement/Agenda Setting…the reason to
change
– Develop the right team to guide the change; make sure they have the time and resources to do the work
– Match a specific problem to a solution and communicate the vision! (targeted or transformational change)
– Empower, clarify, make it routine…don’t give up!
– Expect barriers and manage them!
