Are we improving?
Operations on the wrong patient or the wrongbody part continue to take place, perhaps as often
as 50 times per weekin the United States
(estimated from: Minnesota Department of Health2013).

What Type of Organization Leads to a Safety Culture

Safety Culture
“…the attitudes, beliefs, perceptions and values that employees share in
relation to safety…”
Cox, S. & Cox, T. (1991) The structure of employee attitudes to safety ‐ a European example Work and Stress, 5, 93 ‐ 106.

Organization
Positive Safety Culture Characteristics
• Mutual trust • Shared perceptions of the importance of
safety • Confidence in efficacy of preventive
measuresHSC (Health And Safety Commission), 1993. Third report: organizing for safety. ACSNI Study Group on Human Factors. HMSO, London.

Past
There was fear of reporting incidents…
WHY?
KL2014 8
Beginning of Time - 1980’s
• Few incidents were reported• Technology was simple-few computers• Cobalt, Ortho and Single Energy Accelerators• AP/PA• Hand Placed Blocks• Hand Calcs -Few computer• Near Misses were rarely thought about• No record and verify systems
KL2014 9
Beginning of Time - 1980’s
• Wrong field size• Wrong time set• Wrong distance• Wrong blocks• Wrong decay factor• Source may get stuck• Bad skin reactions

Variance Workgroups
Purpose:
1.Review all variance’s 2. Identify priority 3. Conduct root cause analyses 4. Recommend changes to process 5. Look for common causes and trends
KL2014 16
Membership of Variance Workgroups
Include Members From all Areas
• Scheduling• Simulation• Dosimetry/Physics• RTT• Faculty and Administration

Safety Organization
Radiation Treatment Delivery is Complex:
• Standard QA – Common Errors• Errors such as machine dose• Misalignments of the patient• Scheduling is complex• Many handoffs• What errors are not being caughtJt Comm J Qual Patient Saf. Jul 2011; 37(7): 291–299.

Incident Detailed Review
“Errors, whether reaching the patient or a workflowissue not reaching the patient, are often
multifactorial and require a detailed review in order to avert or at least minimize future errors…”

What is Reliability?
“Reliability depends on the lack of unwanted, unanticipated, and unexplainable
variance in performance…”
• -Eric Hollnagel, 1993, p. 51
KL2014 21
High Reliability Systems
1. Preoccupation with failure2. Reluctance to simplify interpretations3. Sensitivity to operations4. Cultivation of resilience5. Willingness to organize around expertise
Karl E. Weick & Kathleen M. Sutcliffe, “Managing the Unexpected,”Jossey‐Bass, 2001
KL2014 22
Future Organizations
• Hire Problem solvers• Spend time training staff• Understand that a safe culture will report 4-
5 variances per week• Decide should we focus on problem
variances or near misses?• Include patients with our safety initiatives
KL2014 23
Brainstorming for the FUTURE
• Hiring a Safety Officer or a lead to storm and investigate
• Continue to report and review utilizing all Systems
• Review National Data-RO-ILS

Organization
A well-designed organization is not a stable solution to achieve, but a developmental process to keep active.
