This Month...

Join Patient Safety and Healthcare Quality Physician Leader, Dr. Jeff Salvin-Harmon for an insightful discussion on the different ways physicians and nurses perceive, report, and respond to patient safety risks.

Through research, real-world examples, and decades of leadership experience in quality and safety, he explores the professional, cultural, and organizational factors that influence safety reporting, including hierarchy, psychological safety, reporting thresholds, and workflow barriers.

You will learn why healthcare professionals withhold voice, how differing perspectives shape safety reporting, and why redesigning systems may be more effective than changing individual behaviors.

This session offers practical strategies for strengthening learning systems, improving feedback loops, and aligning professional perspectives to enhance patient safety.
