Recently, Mayo Clinic Quality unveiled a refreshed strategic plan aimed at creating scalable capabilities to support an unparalleled patient experience, reliable excellence, and care that is always safe, reinforcing Mayo’s Category-of-One performance. Central to this strategy was the development of enabling structures designed to fortify a culture of safety. These structures seamlessly integrate people, processes, and technology to evolve a post-pandemic culture into one that is proactive and resilient. Join us for an insightful session where we delve into Mayo Clinic’s journey of engaging a diverse spectrum of stakeholders—from executives to frontline staff—in a robust safety culture strategy. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the most impactful initiatives that have been implemented, learning practical lessons that can be applied to their own organizations.

In 2022, Shriners Children’s implemented a new safety event reporting platform – Press Ganey’s High Reliability Platform (HRP) – and with it brought many teaching opportunities for our organization to strive in becoming a High Reliability Organization (HRO). For the first time we have more than one module to capture and analyze safety data, including a module specific to Service Feedback. We have also introduced to our organization the concept of emotional harm, and the connection between emotional harm and patient safety. While we have started this important work, we still have a long road ahead. Join us while we discuss our journey with HRP, emotional harm, and, ultimately, our journey to being an HRO.
