Purpose and Objectives

The shift to a more constructive “Just Culture” from the traditional “Blame Culture” can have different types of tangible benefits that will play a key role in the overall safety culture in the hospital by focusing on two crucial, concepts:

• As humans will monitor the situation errors can be inevitable which may lead to problems. Therefore continuous monitoring must be in place to ensure that such errors are given proper attention
• Different individuals are accountable for the actions if they purposely continue to violate the safety procedures and policies

Therefore, the Implementation should mainly focuses on creating and implementing a Just or Accountability Culture policy.

The sequence actions required for implementation of the change is that the hospital leaders need to support the implementation of Just Culture policy.

The following are the sequenced actions required for implementation:

• Developing a Just Culture policy:

It is important to establish policy and procedures setting the organization’s expectations in employing a Just or Accountability Culture in managing patient safety events and determining fair and consistent courses of actions toward staff involved in such events, to promote an atmosphere of trust and confidence among all levels of employees in the hospital.

• Improving Error Reporting:

In order to reduce the different legal complications that are involved in reporting, the two most important issues that have been identified are as follows:

• Securing the employee against disciplinary actions if they report incident
• Keeping in place a regulatory legal framework that adheres to the reporting of each and every incident. Some of the first steps of errors include;
  • The current legal situation is not taken care of or is seen in a small viewpoint
  • Discussing the different ways of whether any kind of change is actually possible or feasible enough.
  • Discuss with the officers involved in the operations department on what changes in the legal policy they think would improve incident reporting.
• Review the Incident Report Policy and Procedures

• Confidentiality of reports.
• Leader commitment to Patient Safety and No Blame culture concept.
• A certain degree of independence must be granted to the Risk Management Department.

The hospital leaders are the most responsible group in implementing the changes is the. This is mainly because it is the duty of the leaders to ensure thatthe changes are brought about properly without the intervention of any external or internal factors. It is also the responsibility of the employees to ensure that the changes are implemented is sustained in a proper manner so that advantage can be gained in the hospital. At the same time, the duty of the patients and their caregiver is to ensure that they are taught about the importance of discipline and the fact that they need to abide by the rules of the hospital for getting a proper treatment.

The timeframe that will be required for the completion of the action can be 7 months. This is mainly because the reason for the implementation of changes needs to be communicated with the employee and need to be discussed about its implementation. At the same time, it is also necessary that the resources required for implementing the changes be collected. Therefore, based on these tasks 7 months can be enough to complete and implement the changes that are required for success in thehospital (please refer to the time table in the relevant information section).

Since the patient safety is everyone’s responsibility, the actions need to be applied and communicated to all the patient care area (inpatient, outpatient, and ancillary areas).

Timeline for Implementation

The performance measurement can be done by assessing the contribution of the employees and the effectiveness of the change undertaken after every six months. This can help in analysing the changes and make proper rectifications in the case of errors. At the same time, quality of the change can be brought about by the implementation of total quality management so that cleanliness of the hospital can be maintained. This can lead to the improvement of change in the hospital and ensure that the effectiveness of the hospital can exist.

The team will focus on the project’s ability to achieve its objectives, mentioned earlier. The evaluation will be determined by the ability of the change to achieve the objectives intended, hence making the objectives the tools for measurement of performance which will be determined by every project members’ attitude, skill and knowledge besides overall teamwork effort being given to the project’s success. Also, it will focus on ensuring that the strategies and methods used are either formulated or changed or that they are completely different from those used earlier. They will simply be evaluating the change’s failures and success rates by accessing its ability and capability of achieving its objectives and purposes in general. It should therefore be able to increase and improve the patient safety culture in the hospital hence making the patients more comfortable.

Resources form an important part for the change management process. The presence of proper resources and a proper flow of the resources supply is helpful for the success of the project plan in this particular case.

The second resource in these regards is the appointment of different employees who will be engaged in completing the total project properly. Apart from this the management of the change must also ensure the reallocation or the transformation or in some cases the development of the existing systems of security within the hospital which can help in savings.
