Defining High Reliability in Health Care

High reliability health care refers to patient care that is consistently excellent and safe over long periods across all services and settings. Achieving high reliability requires:

  1. Leadership committed to the goal of zero harm.
  2. An organizational safety culture where all staff can speak up about things that would negatively impact the organization.
  3. An empowered work force that employs Robust Process Improvement® (RPI®) tools to address the improvement opportunities they find and drive significant and lasting change.
