High performing organisations • Culture and leadership focus – high value organisations define and relentlessly and consistently demonstrates values • Specification and planning: high-value organisations base operational and core clinical decisions on explicit criteria and organise effectively • Infrastructure design: High-value organisations create highly effective teams at the micro level, to meet the needs of patient and families.
High performing organisations • Measurement and oversight: High-value organisations use measurements of clinical operations for internal process monitoring to drive improvement. • Staff focus - high value organisations ensure staff involvement and ownership • The learning organisation: high value organisations examine positive and negative deviations in care and outcomes, using the information create common tools to improve outcomes.
Culture Your culture is an outcome of the way employees behave. So how are we encouraging our employees to behave?Lived values = positive behavioursRelentless modelling of positive behaviours delivers positive attitudes.

What’s in a Wordle? Does this Wordle capture our ambitions? How should we promote these behaviours?What should be the consequence for those who don’t adhere to them?
What we think we “know” •Better quality costs more money •If you want to ― get “Safe Care” it will cost MUCH more money
Now here is the “truth” • Good quality care costs LESS than poor quality care • Safe, harm-free care SAVES Money. It costs less to provide, and avoids costs of correction.
So, where to focus our efforts? Harm Free Care ? Safe care Unsafe care
Safe, Effective and Person Centred • Leadership • Critical Care • General Ward • Peri-operative • Medicines Management Maternity Mental Health Primary Care Sepsis VTE collaborative
