| 11 am | Keynote I Getting to Zero: Eliminating Accidental Harm in Healthcare John J. Nance, JD, John Nance & Associates, Gig Harbor, WA The complexity of healthcare today can hardly be overstated. In fact, at first glance, that complexity appears to justify the attitude that regardless of the Herculean effort and dedication and new procedures and standards and checklists, we can never completely eliminate accidental harm. But agreeing with that premise also means that we’re willing to accept a disastrous number of preventable deaths and injuries every year as a matter of “business as usual” routine, and that would be unacceptable on so many levels it’s hard to know where to begin. The dilemma in a nutshell is this: If we can’t completely eliminate human errors, how can we achieve zero harm? The answer is by building systems that reliably catch and neutralize all the serious errors we can’t completely eliminate. That’s what this presentation is all about: how does an enlightened hospital or clinic or healthcare system minimize errors and mistakes and how can the ones that remain be prevented from impacting patients. The goal of this presentation is to change your thinking about how dedicated humans can reorganize their efforts for safety and quality around the realities of human nature, getting past “flavor of the month” resistance by fully and professionally tasking everyone.
