| focuses on unsafe acts of health-care professionals & errors as the result of human behaviors, such as inattention, forgetfulness, negligence, & incompetence (you made the mistake) | Human errors: personal approach |

| NQF identifies the following 3 goals as critical in making health care safer for Americans: | reduce preventable hospital admissions & readmissions; reduce the incidence of adverse health-care-associated conditions; reduce harm from inappropriate or unnecessary care |

| defines patient safety as "the absence of preventable harm to a patient during the process of health care" | World Health Organizations |
| developed between 2007 & 2014 to address the following issues: medication accuracy at transitions of care; correct procedure at the correct body site | 5 standard operating protocols |
| any quality management program that addresses all areas of an organization, emphasizes customer satisfaction, & uses continuous improvement methods & tools | Total Quality Management (TQM) |
| All QI programs incorporate 4 key principles: | QI works as systems & processes; there is a focus on patients; there is a focus on being part of the team; there is a focus on the use of data |
| First part of the IHI Model of Improvement: | fundamental questions |
| 2nd part of the IHI Model of Improvement: | Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) |
| the Pareto chart is a tool to help determine the "small portion of causes that amount for a large amount of the variance" in a process, according to what? | 80/20 principle |
| A dynamic process that results in altering or making something different | Change |
| purposeful, calculated, & collaborative, & it includes the deliberate application of change theories | Planned change |
| occurs when the need for change is sudden & necessary to manage a crisis (ex: car breaks down --> buy a new one) | Unplanned change |
| successful leaders & managers manage unplanned change through: | effective communication, adaptability, coordination, & the ability to remain grounded |
| the process of creating something new after thoughtful analysis of a phenomenon (ex: studying) | Innovation |
| most widely used 3 step model: | Lewin's force-field model (1951) |
| according to Lewin, change results from what 2 fields or environmental forces? | driving forces (helping) that attempt to facilitate the change & move it forward; restraining forces (hindering) that attempt to impede change & maintain the status quo (ex: self doubt, stress) |
| Lewin's force-field model (1951) involves what 3 stages? | Unfreezing stage, Moving stage, & Refreezing stage |
| stage that determines change is needed: | Unfreezing stage |
| stage that begins initiation of the desired change: | Moving stage |
| stage that involves stabilizing the change & achieving equilibrium: | Refreezing stage |
| cyclical rather than linear & require organizations to react with speed & flexibility | Emerging theories |
| The newer emerging change theories proved another perspective from which to view change & innovation based on what? | complexity science |
| recognizes that the world is a continual motion & that a change in one area can result in numerous changes in other areas | complexity science |
| nonlinear & unpredictable, & it explains why a small change in one area can have a large affect across an organization. Known as the "butterfly effect"; ex: shortage of nurses leads to increased errors & burnout | Chaos theory |
| Senge (1990): to excel, future organization will need to "discover how to tap people's commitment & capacity to learn at all levels in an organization" | Learning Organization Theory |
| organization where people continually expand their capacity to create results they truly desire, where new & expansive patterns of thinking r nurtured, where collective aspiration is set free, & where people are continually learning how to learn together | Learning Organization |
| 4 competencies for facilitating change: | personal knowledge of & accountability; understanding the essence of change; the ability to collaborate & fully engage team members; competence in embracing vulnerability & risk taking |
| One who leads & manages the change process, including management of group dynamics, resistance to change, continuous communication, & the momentum toward the desired outcome. "cheerleader" | change agent |
| how threatened a person feels by change | resistance |
| forces on the relationship needs of staff members, uses peer pressure, & relies on staff members' desires to have satisfactory work relationships | Normative-reeducative strategy |
| assumes that staff members are essentially self-interested & providing info & education will assist staff in changing behavior & adopting the change or innovation | empirical-rational strategy |
| based on power & authority & assumes that staff will respond to authority & threats of job loss. This strategy is used when resistance is expected. Results in rapid change & is often perceived by staff as they must accept the change or find new work | power-coercive strategy |
