Effect of interventions to improve safety culture on healthcare workers in hospital settings: a systematic review of the international literature.

Background: In an era of safety systems, hospital interventions to build a culture of safety deliver organisational learning methodologies for staff. Their benefits to hospital staff are unknown. We examined the literature for evidence of staff outcomes.

Videos of simulated after action reviews: a training resource to support social and inclusive learning from patient safety events.

Innovation in the education and training of healthcare staff is required to support complementary approaches to learning from patient safety and everyday events in healthcare. Debriefing is a commonly used learning tool in healthcare education but not in clinical practice. Little is known about how to implement debriefing as an approach to safety learning across a health system.

'What effect do safety culture interventions have on health care workers in hospital settings?' A systematic review of the international literature.

: Interventions designed to improve safety culture in hospitals foster organisational environments that prevent patient safety events and support organisational and staff learning when events do occur. A safety culture supports the required health workforce behaviours and norms that enable safe patient care, and the well-being of patients and staff. The impact of safety culture interventions on staff perceptions of safety culture and patient outcomes has been established.

Effect of after action review on safety culture and second victim experience and its implementation in an Irish hospital: A mixed methods study protocol.

Background: After Action Review is a form of facilitated team learning and review of events. The methodology originated in the United States Army and forms part of the Incident Management Framework in the Irish Health Services. After Action Review has been hypothesized to improve safety culture and the effect of patient safety events on staff (second victim experience) in health care settings.

Reporting standards, outcomes and costs of quality improvement studies in Ireland: a scoping review.

Objectives: To profile the aims and characteristics of quality improvement (QI) initiatives conducted in Ireland, to review the quality of their reporting and to assess outcomes and costs.

Design: Scoping review.

Data Sources: Systematic searches were conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Google Scholar, Lenus and rian.

The care and keeping of clinicians in quality improvement.

Objective: Although frontline clinicians are crucial in implementing and spreading innovations, their engagement in quality improvement remains suboptimal. Our goal was to identify facilitators and barriers to the development and engagement of clinicians in quality improvement.

Design: A 25-item questionnaire informed by theoretical frameworks was developed, tested and disseminated by email.
