an injury to a patient caused by medical management rather than the patient's underlying condition is called | adverse event or a patient safety event |

focuses on unsafe acts of health-care professionals & errors as the result of human behaviors, such as inattention, forgetfulness, negligence, & incompetence (you made the mistake) | Human errors: personal approach |
acknowledges that errors happen because humans are not perfect (what went wrong?) | human errors: systems approach |

Mission to make health care safer, higher quality, more accessible, equitable, & affordable | Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality |
1994: launched an initiative to investigate the impact of health-care restructuring on the safety & quality of patient care & the nursing profession | American Nurses Association |
A nonprofit organization established in 1999N in response to the recommendations from the Advisory Commission on Consumer Protection & Quality in the Health Care Industry | National Quality Forum (NQF) |
member states agreed on a resolution on patient safety in 2002 & recognized patient safety as a global health-care issue in 2004 | World Health Organization (WHO) |

NQF identifies the following 3 goals as critical in making health care safer for Americans: | reduce preventable hospital admissions & readmissions; reduce the incidence of adverse health-care-associated conditions; reduce harm from inappropriate or unnecessary care |
Goal is to reduce morbidity & mortality significantly in the American health-care system | 1,000 Lives Campaign |

2nd part of the IHI Model of Improvement: | Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) |
the Pareto chart is a tool to help determine the "small portion of causes that amount for a large amount of the variance" in a process, according to what? | 80/20 principle |
A dynamic process that results in altering or making something different | Change |
purposeful, calculated, & collaborative, & it includes the deliberate application of change theories | Planned change |
occurs when the need for change is sudden & necessary to manage a crisis (ex: car breaks down --> buy a new one) | Unplanned change |
successful leaders & managers manage unplanned change through: | effective communication, adaptability, coordination, & the ability to remain grounded |
the process of creating something new after thoughtful analysis of a phenomenon (ex: studying) | Innovation |
most widely used 3 step model: | Lewin's force-field model (1951) |
according to Lewin, change results from what 2 fields or environmental forces? | driving forces (helping) that attempt to facilitate the change & move it forward; restraining forces (hindering) that attempt to impede change & maintain the status quo (ex: self doubt, stress) |
Lewin's force-field model (1951) involves what 3 stages? | Unfreezing stage, Moving stage, & Refreezing stage |
stage that determines change is needed: | Unfreezing stage |
stage that begins initiation of the desired change: | Moving stage |
stage that involves stabilizing the change & achieving equilibrium: | Refreezing stage |
cyclical rather than linear & require organizations to react with speed & flexibility | Emerging theories |
The newer emerging change theories proved another perspective from which to view change & innovation based on what? | complexity science |
recognizes that the world is a continual motion & that a change in one area can result in numerous changes in other areas | complexity science |
nonlinear & unpredictable, & it explains why a small change in one area can have a large affect across an organization. Known as the "butterfly effect"; ex: shortage of nurses leads to increased errors & burnout | Chaos theory |
Senge (1990): to excel, future organization will need to "discover how to tap people's commitment & capacity to learn at all levels in an organization" | Learning Organization Theory |
organization where people continually expand their capacity to create results they truly desire, where new & expansive patterns of thinking r nurtured, where collective aspiration is set free, & where people are continually learning how to learn together | Learning Organization |

how threatened a person feels by change | resistance |
forces on the relationship needs of staff members, uses peer pressure, & relies on staff members' desires to have satisfactory work relationships | Normative-reeducative strategy |
assumes that staff members are essentially self-interested & providing info & education will assist staff in changing behavior & adopting the change or innovation | empirical-rational strategy |
based on power & authority & assumes that staff will respond to authority & threats of job loss. This strategy is used when resistance is expected. Results in rapid change & is often perceived by staff as they must accept the change or find new work | power-coercive strategy |
change initiative typically fail due to: | poor coordination, ineffective communication, lack of staff cooperation |
