The Relationship between High-reliability practice and Hospital-acquired conditions among the Solutions for Patient Safety Collaborative.

Unlabelled: Theoretically, the application of reliability principles in healthcare can improve patient safety outcomes by informing process design. As preventable harm continues to be a widespread concern in healthcare, evaluating the association between integrating high-reliability practices and patient harms will inform a patient safety strategy across the healthcare landscape. This study evaluated the association between high-reliability practices and hospital-acquired conditions.

Crafting a Team-Based, Interprofessional Undergraduate Research Honors Curriculum in the Health Professions.

Many undergraduate students in the health professions experience group work throughout their educational development, but few have the opportunity to experience teamwork in the professional disciplines. Interprofessional teamwork is necessary for successful delivery of accessible, high-quality healthcare aimed at achieving good clinical outcomes and operational efficiencies. Developing teamwork skills early in health professions education results in more successful teams in the workplace.

Patient safety culture in Peking University Cancer Hospital in China: baseline assessment and comparative analysis for quality improvement.

Background: Limited information is available regarding the patient safety culture in Chinese hospitals. This study aims to assess the patient safety culture in Peking University Cancer Hospital and to identify opportunities for improving the organization's safety culture.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in April 2018 and 2019, respectively.

Training leaders for a culture of quality and safety.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to understand the degree to which a quality and safety culture exists after healthcare workers in an academic medical center complete a quality improvement and patient safety education program focused on developing leaders to change the future of healthcare quality and safety.

Design/methodology/approach: The safety attitudes questionnaire (SAQ) short-form was used for measuring the culture of quality and safety among healthcare workers who were graduates of an academic medical center's healthcare quality and safety program. A 53 percent response rate from program alumni resulted in 54 usable responses.

Self-Reported Adherence to High Reliability Practices Among Participants in the Children's Hospitals' Solutions for Patient Safety Collaborative.

Background: Application of high reliability principles has the potential to transform the health care industry to perform with a higher level of safety than is present today. The purpose of this study was to quantitatively assess and describe the extent and variability of integration of high reliability practices among a collaborative of children's hospitals using the High Reliability Health Care Maturity (HRHCM) model.

Methods: A survey instrument based on the HRHCM model was developed to determine the extent of integration of high reliability practices across hospitals participating in the Children's Hospitals' Solutions for Patient Safety (CHSPS) network.

Global mHealth policy arena: status check and future directions.

In this review, we examine an important piece of the mHealth puzzle that has received scant attention-health policy. The question is whether health policy ultimately will serve to unite nations in advancing global mHealth or, as Mars and Scott suggested in 2010, keep nations isolated and ultimately making their policy decisions in "eHealth silos". Such a non-collaborative approach seriously hampers the potential for using mobile health technologies to deliver health care across borders, assuring individuals access to affordable, convenient, and quality healthcare in underserved regions.

A model for mHealth skills training for clinicians: meeting the future now.

We describe the current state of mHealth skills acquisition, education, and training available to clinical professionals in educational programs. We discuss how telemedicine experienced exponential growth due in large part to the ubiquity of the mobile phone. An outcome of this unprecedented growth has been the emergence of the need for technology skills training programs for clinicians that address extant curricula gaps.

Preparing for diversity management strategies: teaching tactics for an undergraduate healthcare management program.

This paper reports the processes used by faculty in the Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences (BSHS) Program at the University of Alabama at Birmingham to increase diversity knowledge for the faculty and to incorporate diversity management issues and skills development into the program curriculum using a structured plan.

Evaluating stakeholder management performance using a stakeholder report card: the next step in theory and practice.

In the highly competitive health care environment, the survival of an organization may depend on how well powerful stakeholders are managed. Yet, the existing strategic stakeholder management process does not include evaluation of stakeholder management performance. To address this critical gap, this paper proposes a systematic method for evaluation using a stakeholder report card.
