We regularly share messages about our research here on various media, presentations during conferences or recently published scientific articles. We also write blogs about relevant themes in the field of Safety.
What is needed to improve patient safety?
According to Jop Groeneweg, professor and director of the Center for Safety in Healthcare, the golden solution is psychological safety. During the Time for Connection conference on November 18, 2021, Jop will argue the importance of psychological safety in teams. These are teams in which you as a care worker feel safe, can share your ideas, and you work in an environment where you can learn from each other.
Learning before incidents
WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM UNDERSTANDING VARIATION IN PERFORMANCE
We tend to define safety as ‘a lack of incidents’. When incidents occur, we assume people and processes performed poorly or differently compared to the times when incidents didn’t occur. What if that assumption is wrong? Jop Groeneweg contributed to this explanatory video, which explains the concept variability and its relation with safety
