The #1 Obstacle to High-Reliability
Date: June 15, 2023
Time: 12:00pm EST
Presenters:
Brady Reed, The Arbinger Institute
Colonel (Ret) Leslie Ness, HRO Leader Coach, Cognosante
Description: In this session, participants will learn the hidden resistance or obstacle to becoming an HRO and how to radically simply the behaviors that drive high-performing safety cultures.
This is a special encore edition to the sold-out AMSUS conference presentation: The imperative to create “safety culture” is widely espoused across healthcare systems, health education, and health consulting sites. Since the 1999 industry wake-up call “To Err is Human,” billions of dollars and countless hours have been spent annually on improvement efforts in pursuit of patient safety. Over time, these efforts have expanded to include other objectives and enlarged the goals to now call the pursuit ‘high-reliability.’ Yet after two decades, one in 10 patients are harmed while receiving care in high-income countries. Efforts to create HROs have become increasingly complex and training in large enterprises often devolves into check-the-box, compliance-focused activity.
Learning Objective:
Identify #1 obstacle to HRO; understand the symptoms and impact of this obstacle; and learn a simple tool to operationalize multiple HRO principles routinely among all people in a healthcare organization.
Virtual Platform: GoToWebinar
Target Audience: Healthcare Leaders, Administrators, Quality & Safety Staff – Anyone interested in HRO

Enabling Healthcare Workplace Civility
Date: June 29, 2023
Time: 12:00pm EST
Presenter:
Katherine Virkstis, MD
Description: Healthcare workers, particularly nurses, are at a far higher risk of violence on the job compared to most other professions. But leaders can reverse this trend by taking a comprehensive approach that integrates high-tech with high-touch strategies. The next wave of digital and smart technology can help reduce the risk of manual errors, make safety and security more transparent, enable more effective communication and more. Moreover, workplace safety should be a KPI for leaders at all levels across an organization. Presenters will review a 5-stage framework that can help organizations tackle the issue of workplace violence in healthcare, reducing stress and saving lives.
Learning Objectives:
1. Learn about healthcare workplace violence and incivility
2. Understand best practices for creating a civil healthcare workplace
3. Discuss how digital patient engagement enables healthcare workplace civility

Time: 12:00pm EST
Moderator: Glenn Sawyer, Associate Director, Clinical Genetics, Agena Bioscience
Presenter: Fritz Gartner, CEO, ADxHealth
Description: During this webinar Fritz Gartner, CEO of ADxHealth, will present a molecular method of secure and efficient patient sample identification. Reviewing the standard workflow required for sample receipt and identification within a diagnostic/pathology laboratory, a multi-factor authentication security and privacy solution will be discussed. Utilizing 44 unique single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to analyze each sample, this method provides confidence in sample identification within the standard CAP approved workflow within a diagnostic/pathology laboratory.
