Commitment to Transparency: Redesign of Daily Safety Huddles Using HRO Principles LAN | June 25
Join this live educational event to learn how a hospital system applied high reliability organization (HRO) principles to improve its daily leadership huddles and reporting of safety events to identify opportunities in real-time. After renewing its focus on leadership engagement in patient safety, the Tier 2 Safety Huddle (T2SH) project was initiated with goals to encourage open and transparent reporting of events, drive high reliable performance, proactively identify and mitigate risk, and aggressively pursue zero harm. A core team of quality, safety, and risk management department members designed and implemented this process and have made enhancements such as adding “Mindful Considerations” and department-based Governance Councils within the
past year.

Reducing Readmissions Using a Team Approach | July 30
Greenwood County Hospital is a 25-bed Critical Access Hospital in Eureka, Kansas with a population of 2,332 residents. In 2021, readmission rates continued to be high despite previous improvement efforts, indicating a need to re-evaluate process and strategies. The Readmissions Team was restructured at that time, adding team members and returning to basic best practice interventions. Collaboration continues to expand with care team members outside of the hospital, including home health, primary care and chronic care management services. Since restructuring, readmission rates have decreased by 33%. Join the Compass HQIC team and the Director of Quality and Risk Management at Greenwood County Hospital, Melissa Jones to find out more about their processes, best practices and lessons learned.
