Just Culture - An Emerging Safety-Centered Accountability Model

Registration for the teleconference has expired.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Please join us for Part I of a two-part teleconference series on Just Culture–An Emerging Safety-Centered Accountability Model, to be held on March 30, 2006, from 1:30 to 3:00 p.m. (ET).

Our guest speaker, David Marx, JD, is a leader in safety culture and development with more than a decade of experience transforming work environments in high-risk industries, including aviation, transportation, and now healthcare.

Just Culture is a term used by Mr. Marx to describe the characteristics of a safety culture that surround the investigation of near misses and events in a way that maximizes safety and balances individual and system accountability. Mr. Marx will be providing an overview of the concepts of a Just Culture, including methodologies to help organizational leaders be consistent and fair to the workforce when events happen. His work to date with several statewide and system-wide safety culture initiatives in healthcare has created considerable excitement because the Just Culture accountability model has been so well received by all, even the “skeptics.” Built upon years of safety research and practice, the Just Culture accountability model offers the flexibility of being implemented aggressively, gradually, or as part of a larger collaborative effort.

Part II of this teleconference series will be offered in April.
