"Baylor Scott & White Health's approach to achieving the Triple Aim is both innovative and proven. This book provides the practical information and real-life examples that individuals and organizations will find extraordinarily useful to improve and enhance care in their settings ... it is a 'must have' for anyone interested in maximizing patient safety." --Beth Mancini, RN, PhD, NE-BC, FAHA, ANEF, FAAN, Professor, Associate Dean, and Chair of the Undergraduate Nursing Programs, University of Texas at Arlington College of Nursing and Health Innovation; Baylor Professor for Healthcare Research "Baylor Scott & White Health is way out in front of the pack in their approach to safety, using a true systems approach, embedding PhD-level human factors engineers in their safety program, and creating a robust training program for their safety teams in the science of safety. This is a system worth watching." --Rollin J. (Terry) Fairbanks, MD MS, Director, National Center for Human Factors in Healthcare; Director, Simulation Training & Education Lab (MedStar SiTEL); MedStar Institute for Innovation, MedStar Health; Associate Professor of Emergency Medicine, Georgetown University "There is no better way to evaluate an approach than to introduce it. Baylor Scott & White Health has done this with STEEEP to great effect. There are lessons aplenty in this excellent publication from Baylor Scott & White Health." --Peter Carter, Chief Executive Officer, International Society for Quality in Health Care "Jan Compton and her colleagues at Baylor Scott & White Health have produced a valuable compendium reflecting the intentional efforts to systematically improve care across their health system. This intentional work has resulted in a considerably safer care environment for both patients and the people providing care." --Michael Leonard, MD, Managing Partner, Safe & Reliable Healthcare LLC; Adjunct Professor of Medicine, Duke University School of Medicine "Measuring and reducing patient harm is central to delivering safe and reliable health care and yet, based on the evidence, remains a challenge for most. STEEEP care created an even higher standard by pioneering preventable risk, one of many ways in which Baylor Scott & White Health (BSWH) has proven a trailblazer in high reliability. This book is a gift to the field and demonstrates how BSWH will remain a leader in this next generation of patient care." --Drew Ladner, MBA, MA, Chairman & CEO, Pascal Metrics "In this book, Baylor Scott & White Health has once again illustrated why it's a leader in the field of medicine. If every hospital in America was as direct in its goal to reduce patient harm, we could cut preventable deaths by a significant number. While no one has all of the answers to solving the patient safety problem in this country, Baylor Scott & White Health is leading the way to reach zero preventable deaths. We thank them for their commitment to patients." --Laura Batz Townsend, Co-Founder & President, Louise H. Batz Patient Safety Foundation "Baylor Scott & White Health provides practical examples and approaches to excellence in patient safety in Achieving Safe Health Care. Each page holds ideas that any system can implement. Further, Baylor Scott & White Health provides detailed measurement of its improvements utilizing the STEEEP program." --Kristin M.
