What initiatives were proposed by the Steering Committee to improve patient safety on unit 2E?

The Steering Committee proposed initiatives such as a Good Catch Program, a quality dashboard, visual campaigns like a performance indicator board and an idea board, daily safety huddles, and specific interventions for patient falls, medication administration, and HAIs to improve patient safety on unit 2E.

To improve patient safety on unit 2E, the Steering Committee proposed several initiatives. These include the implementation of a Good Catch Program to encourage reporting of near misses and the development of a quality dashboard by the IT department to provide up-to-date data on patient safety metrics. Visual campaigns were suggested, including a Red, Yellow, Green Performance Indicator Board to track progress on safety outcomes and an Idea Board for sharing successes and ideas. Daily safety huddles were introduced to enhance communication and collaboration among team members. Additionally, specific interventions were planned to address patient falls, medication administration errors, and healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), with champion team members empowered to lead these efforts using evidence-based tools.
