I was thinking dorsum to 2011, when I get-become touched on the concept of reliability inwards this spider web log:  httр://аhеаlthуdіаlоguе.blоgѕроt.соm/2011/03/bеѕt-mоdе-ѕhоuld-bе-еxсluѕіvеlу-ѕtуlе.html. To cutting down the concept to its simplest definition, reliability way “what should hap happens inward add-on to what should non reach off….doesn’t.” To acquire to very high reliability, or error rates closed to zippo, an organisation must detect the potential causes of failure, the so-called “holes inward the Swiss Cheese”, before they tin tin delineate upwards to effort a fille, that mightiness lead to patient or staff harm. Being vigilant nigh filling inwards those “holes” is also called рrеоссuраtіоn аmоngѕt fаіlurе. Are we zealously looking for problems as goodness as fixing them when we find them?  When we reckon people drifting from our designs for safety are we calling it out or are nosotros looking the other mode? We know we are not perfect but it’s good to remove exterior eyes looking at our processes too to reckon entirely how reliable we choose get inwards add-on to where we tin nonetheless meliorate.

During LDM this morning time time, I learned of a phenomenal success that took place inwards Family Care Associates, i of our patient-centered medical homes, on Tuesday. They received 271 telephone calls and answered every i within their 20-moment touchstone!

What should come up upward about…the phone gets answered efficiently…happened without a failure! An representative of a 100% reliable procedure! Congratulations to Family Care Associates for achieving the President’s Four Aim Recognition. Family Care is similar a shot the tertiary advanced principal assist practise, along alongside Owіngѕ Mіllѕ in improver to Hunt Mаnоr to concord implemented the new measure pattern for telephone calls.
