ENCORE SESSION: SAFETY PROGRAM ESSENTIALS DURING COVID-19
Considering COVID-19 implications on our safety programs, this session will focus on the basics of safety programs and what has needed to remain the same and what has changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
This was an original session for the in-person MAPS conference, and the one with the most registrants. Now considering COVID-19 implications on our safety programs, this session will focus on the basics of safety programs and what has needed to remain the same and what has changed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For those newer to the safety and high reliability journey, or those looking to strengthen essential safety program elements, learn how health systems are incorporating fundamentals of safety science into the foundation of their safety program during COVID-19.
Participants will:
1. Recognize the foundations of safety programs
2. Interpret how the basics of Highly Reliable Organizations (HROs) could be applied in your safety programs, even through COVID-19
3. Identify fundamental elements of a patient safety program
