How Healthcare Leaders Influence Behavior and Create Culture
by Thomas R. Krause, Ph.D. and John H. Hidley, M.D.
"[The healthcare industry] continues to draw on the expertise of those who have developed successful approaches to safety improvements in other industries and those who have translated those successes into relevant and valuable applications for the healthcare field – companies such as Behavioral Science Technology."
From the foreword by Diane C. Pinakiewicz, M.B.A., President, National Patient Safety Foundation
This groundbreaking book is for healthcare safety leaders who want to have a significant impact on the safety of both patients and staff. Leaders include physicians, nurses, pharmacists, administrators, and all others who are in key positions to influence the cultures of the organizations in which they work.
The book provides a comprehensive model for untangling and understanding the complex issues involved in healthcare safety, offers recommendations for assessing institutional safety practices, and outlines specific suggestions for behavioral interventions.
