Perioperative safety remains a critical focal point for healthcare organizations. Establishing a formal time out process that has rigor and unfailing consistency is an imperative. Performing a time out with all of the required elements without interruptions and distractions will help ensure patient safety. Perform your time outs with the patient as a participant and while they are awake, repeat back, check and double check for safety.

Patient safety is a basic requirement for good quality healthcare. That's why it's important for healthcare institutions to identify risks and areas for improvement. At The Patient Safety Company, we have developed custom-made tools over the years to help every kind of healthcare organisation improve and gain insight into patient safety.

🌟 Excited to share my recent experience in training a healthcare provider team to elevate 'Patient Satisfaction'! 💼 Using this insightful quote by Maya Angelou, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel," we embarked on a journey to enhance patient experiences. 🏥 Despite no apparent process deficiencies, patient complaints had risen, indicating a need for a shift in staff-patient dynamics. 💡 Recognizing the importance of empathy in healthcare, we focused on activating emotions and essential soft skills during training sessions. 🤝 The results speak volumes – a noticeable improvement in staff-patient interactions and a promising shift towards a more empathetic culture. 📈 Remember, cultivating a human-centric approach not only enhances patient satisfaction but also positively impacts the bottom line. 🌱 Let's continue prioritizing empathy and compassion in our healthcare practices! #PatientSatisfaction #HealthcareTraining #EmpathyInAction #MayaAngelouQuote 🌟

Patient Safety Awareness Week Today marks the start of Patient Safety Awareness Week here in the U.S. As healthcare leaders, clinicians, legislators, and advocates, this is an opportunity to reflect on the critical importance of keeping patient safety at the forefront of everything we do. If you haven't already, I highly recommend taking some time to read the open-source e-book by Professor Lucien Leape, widely regarded as the father of patient safety. His insights underscore why improving patient safety should remain a top priority for all of us working in or around healthcare. Whether you're shaping policy, providing direct patient care, managing a healthcare organization, or supporting a loved one navigating the healthcare system, Professor Leape's wisdom and call-to-action is well worth the read. What are you doing within your healthcare facility to refocus efforts on making care as safe as possible? What actions are you taking this week to mark Patient Safety Awareness Week? I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas. #patientsafety #psaw2024 #healthcareleadership #patientsafetyfirst https://lnkd.in/eWbYM4rM

Navigating silence is a great way of summarising the issue of speaking up (and being heard!). In many job descriptions in health and care the ability to challenge features highly as an essential skill, and yet in a culture where positional power is held above all there is no guarantee they will be heard, or worse they may be actively muzzled by the organisation. Great piece by Suzette. How do you ensure every voice is heard in your organisation - and not just the loud and powerful ones?
