"Culture of Safety" within the healthcare delivery setting

A primary concern for nurse managers is creating a "Culture of Safety" within the healthcare delivery setting. Chapter 2 in your text discussed the seven major organizations that coordinate the management of patient safety issues encountered within a variety of healthcare arenas. (These organizations are: Institute of Medicine, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, National Quality Forum, The Joint Commission, Institute for Healthcare Improvement, Quality and Safety Education for Nurses, and Det Norske Veritas.)

Now, think of a potential safety issue that exists within the inpatient healthcare setting. Review the agencies (and their websites) listed above. Consider the applicability of the information or evidence available through any one of the resources to your specific issue and answer the following questions. (These organizations may be helpful to you as you develop your project plan!)

1. What is the overall intent of developing a "culture of safety" within healthcare settings?
2. Describe your topic or the safety issue you are addressing for this forum.
3. Name the website of the organization you have explored and identified as contributing to the body of knowledge on your issue.
4. Discuss one specific discussion, evidence-based study, or approach you located on the specific agency website that will help guide your managerial decision making on this issue.
   We can learn about leadership and management styles from a variety of places. In Yertle the Turtle by Dr. Seuss, Yertle is king of the pond on the far-away island of Sala-ma-Sond. However, the way he leads the other turtles of the pond leaves much to be desired. Please watch the following video, which is a recitation of the story, along with the original artwork from the book: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDxYKGaceho

   After you watch the video, answer the following questions:
5. Was Yertle a transactional leader or a transformational leader? Explain your answer.
6. What form of conflict resolution did Yertle use when faced with complaints from Mack and the other turtles who formed his “throne”?
7. In one sentence, sum up the leadership lesson you learned from this story.
