“…Exploring the full safety climate profile might also help to explain why there are inconsistent results for interventions like WalkRounds 28. Such interventions might be especially likely to improve safety climate, given their broad reach, on units that exhibit low strength safety climate scores.…”

“…Such interventions might be especially likely to improve safety climate, given their broad reach, on units that exhibit low strength safety climate scores. That is, strong, visible leadership support for safety (eg, WalkRounds) may improve the consensus regarding leader commitment to safety that is foundational to safety climate as well as the level of leader commitment demonstrated in prior research 28 29…”

“…In this technique, managers and frontline staff collaborate to identify and resolve barriers to productivity, quality, and safety . This technique is essentially the concept of “management through visits” which today is being implemented in hospitals with the aim of promoting safety culture called as patient safety walkrounds (PSWRs) . The walkrounds' goals are highlighting the commitment and accountability of senior management to the patient's safety, increasing employee participation and creating a culture of free communication, identifying and sharing best practices, and educating staff on patient safety concepts …”

Summary Objective Patient safety walkround (PSWR) is an appropriate technique for senior managers' participation and collaboration with frontline staff to promote safety culture in hospitals. This study was conducted to assess the 5‐year PSWR experience in Shahid Mahallati Hospital in Tabriz, Iran. Methods This was a triangulated cross‐sectional study. All documents, instructions, reports, action plans, protocols, and verbal feedbacks on PSWRs were reviewed from 2013 to 2017. Data were extracted using goal‐driven extraction form and analyzed using Excel 2016 software. Results A total of 174 90‐minute PSWRs were conducted during the study period, and 1372 safety issues were identified. Work environment factors (32.5%), organization and management (18.14%), and tasks (18.07%) were the most frequent identified issues, respectively. About 75.5% of the issues were resolved through corrective interventions implementation. Conclusions PSWRs provide a great opportunity to identify and resolve the safety issues in the hospitals. Senior managers' participation and their support of staffs opinions and innovations were reinforced through PSWRs. Moreover, it creates mutual trust and safety responsiveness at all organizational levels in the hospital.

“…Because of their positions, they have the opportunity to work across organizational units and address the vulnerable interdependencies of clinical work [35]. With perhaps some exceptions of leadership Walk Rounds initiatives where there is full commitment and a support structure for delineating systems-based actions [36,37], there is little evidence that leaders spend much time attending to the complex interdependencies. Greater understanding and willingness to address system-entrenched issues that both diagnosticians and providers encounter in their interdependent environments is needed.…”

Challenges and opportunities from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) research summit on improving diagnosis: a proceedings review

Background: The Improving Diagnosis in Health Care report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) provided an opportunity for many groups to reflect on the role they could play in taking actions to improve diagnostic safety. As part of its own process, AHRQ held a research summit in the fall of 2016, inviting members from a diverse collection of organizations, both inside and outside of Government, to share their suggestions regarding what is known about diagnosis and the challenges that need to be addressed. Content: The goals of the summit were to learn from the insights of participants; examine issues associated with definitions of diagnostic error and gaps in the evidence base; explore clinician and patient perspectives; gain a better understanding of data and measurement, health information technology, and organizational factors that impact the diagnostic process; and identify potential future directions for research. Summary and outlook: Plenary sessions focused on the state of the new diagnostic safety discipline followed by breakout sessions on the use of data and measurement, health information technology, and the role of organizational factors. The proceedings review captures many of
