Title
Environment of Care - Koppit
Body
The Joint Commission, ECRI and the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), along with other best practices, indicate that a safety culture within the organization is one of the most compelling strategies for achieving patient safety and improving upon patient care.
This culture of safety seeks to make everyone responsible for safety and, to be the most effective, must be fostered and supported from within Leadership.
In response to this, we present the Governing Council with this review of the actions taken on the Environment of Care Plans during 2022. Elements for improvement are also delineated within this report. These Plans, along with the Clinical Risk and Patient Safety Plan, seek to provide the foundations for the on-going support of the culture of safety.
