High Reliability in Healthcare Programs
High Reliability Organizations demonstrate exemplary track records of safety, efficiency, productivity, and reliability in the healthcare industry
Through CRM and Lean training programs, risk mitigation, lean implementation strategies, incident reporting, dashboard measurement and monitoring, Safer Healthcare creates and certifies High Reliability Healthcare Organizations (HRHO's).
Working closely with clients to build a foundation of six sigma quality and continuous process improvement, Safer Healthcare creates reliability standards and goals for programs launched within the organization. Our proven, integrated delivery model is designed to support and foster effective communication within a high risk environment built around the three critical components in the delivery of care: People; Process; and Technology.
Safer Healthcare’s HRHO model is rooted in the analysis of errors that reveal organizational failures. These weak links in an organization are related to weak or poorly executed processes, technical failures related to system performance or poor human interface, and human factor limitations related to human behavior.

Similar risk mitigation techniques and programs have been successfully applied to at-risk industries including: commercial and military aviation, chemical manufacturing, nuclear power production, banking, construction, oil and gas production, and military operations. In these industries errors, if left undetected, can result in severe financial consequences and loss of life.
