In this webinar, we will explore common barriers to psychological safety and practical approaches to overcoming them.

In this session, we introduce a systemic pathway for identifying, collecting and analyzing data for improvement and testing interventions under different conditions. We cover how to use reliable design, scale, spread and sustainability methods to select and implement successful improvement interventions.

Although much research has been completed to address the cause, identification and treatment of pressure injuries, little research can be found to address the race or ethnicity effect on early identification and treatment of injuries in people of color. People of color are of particular risk to develop a more severe injury unless action is taken to identify the injury earlier. In this video we will discuss the assessment and identification of pressure injuries based on an individual’s skin tone.

Leaders have a profound responsibility to cultivate, model and embed the components of high reliability. In this session, we build on the previous session and further describe the leadership roles and responsibilities that effectively sustain a high reliability organization.
