SAFE = S (Safety Teams/Org Structure) • Action 3: Identify gaps and develop action plans • The interdisciplinary team: • Reviews and updates the XX prevention program • Reviews data results at least quarterly and identifies strengths and opportunities • Develops a plan to prioritize and address improvement opportunities • Commissions subgroups as needed
SAFE = A (Access to Information) • Action 1: Track progress on process and outcome measures • Observational audits • Inter-rater reliability • Capture adverse event details
SAFE = A (Access to Information) • Action 2: Review and analyze data for improvement opportunities • Routinely review and analyze data • Track progress against established targets • Run charts, control charts, dashboards, scorecards • Prioritize and act upon identified issues
SAFE = A (Access to Information) • Action 3: Data is shared on a regular basis to promote system-wide learning and transparency • Share vertically and horizontally • A story with worth 1,000 data points

The MAPS Journey to Developing the Culture Road Map
Timeline of Culture Initiative Late 2009 Operations Committee commissioned Culture Exploratory Work Group MAPS Topic Criteria: Topic expands across multiple health care settings Topic success requires collaboration among a multi-stakeholder work group Work on the topic will have an impact on the safety and quality of care in MN Organizations are willing and able to participate in and carry out the necessary work. Exploratory Work group members:
Timeline of Culture Initiative 2010 – Exploratory Work Group Took into consideration current Culture work in Minnesota: • VHA/AHRQ findings and gaps • Stratis Health findings and gaps • ICSI findings and gaps Identified project/focus • Identified three phases of addressing culture: • Data collection (Initial Phase) • Data analysis/interpretation: identifying the gaps (Planning Phase) • Implementation work to address gaps (Action Phase) Discussed existing data • Survey tools: AHRQ, VHA, ICSI, HLCAT Identified list of attributes for a safety culture
2010 – Exploratory Work Group Recommendations There is a role for MAPS to address a culture of safety that expands across health care settings Provide a framework of best practices, implementation support, and measurement Develop best practices road map and guide health care providers who are embedding a culture of safety within in their organizations Create a community standard through a statewide call-to-action across all settings of care 2010 MAPS Governance Decisions July 14th MAPS Steering Committee approved • MAPS moving forward with Culture Roadmap and budgeting for a project manager Timeline of Culture Initiative

2010 continued Culture Workgroup chooses domains to develop into road maps, using key safety subcultures identified in a meta-analysis. What is Patient Safety? A Review of the Literature, Christine Sammer et al; Journal of Nursing Scholarship 2010 Timeline of Culture Initiative
2011 Domains assembled into one overall road map Audit questions developed for each domain Key stakeholder groups identified to review the full road map draft Tools/resources gathered for each domain Timeline of Culture Initiative
2012 Final feedback received Road map finalized Kick Off meeting May 1 Timeline of Culture Initiative
