The trick here is TIMING. One should not appear vindictive& impulsive. The feedback should be given thru proper channels. The person most responsible for correcting the employee would be the direct supervisor. Report to that person. make them accountable for their responsibilities. #HealthXPH
T3. The powers that be hopefully will appreciate it when someone speaks up and not take it personally. Ideally, speaking up is not seen as disrespect but I guess that depends on the leader. #healthxph
Oops time is almost up. Here’s T3. #healthxph
Largely it will depend on how bringing up a patient safety issue is done. Is there a platform or meeting where it is done regularly so it’s normalized? Also the language used so as not to blame or be disrespectful. #healthxph

T2. two settings: In a group, there should be an avenue to say things anonymously, like in an online bulletin board or an open forum. Oftentimes, it can fairly common to have ideas or comments shot down because someone in the group opposes the contributor, impeding real honest feedback. #healthxph
The way I understand the Swiss cheese model, there is no single point of failure because there’s supposed to be other layers of defense. Hence it’s not the fault of one person alone but of the system itself. #healthxph

Would it be possible to develop a "no blame" culture? Where HCW can openly admit their mistakes to find solutions or bettrr ways of doing things? #HealthXPH there has to be strong political will from the top to ensure this.
And that’s how witches get burned at the stake ✌🏼😅. #healthxph

T1. Talk travels fast, and if your ideas are dissenting, or controversial, people might peg you to be a nuisance or menace, rather than an agent of change (for the better). I wouldn’t want to be misconstrued as an irreverent or disrespectful person because of ideas. #healthxph
Let’s go to T1. Feel free to jump into the convo anytime! #healthxph
T2. I think it’s hard when there are new team members because they are observing to see what the culture is like. Those who have bee around long enough may have fatigue? “It’s always been this way.” #healthxph

T2. Should be two way - from top to bottom and vice versa . Organizational level is the ideal but its very hard to implement unless the one on top pushes for it. #Healthxph
T2. Psychological safety means one can speak up without fear of being shamed or losing status or having a career misstep. #healthxph
With a whistleblower policy, someone who speaks up knows his rights and the protection afforded if one does speak up. #healthxph

Happens usually when hierarchy or seniority is emphasized in organizations. #Healthxph
T1. I think it’s fear of retribution lest one be called NOT a team player or too righteous. #healthxph

Agree! There’s leadership that fosters a culture of silence. #healthxph

T1. Leadership, Hierarchy and maybe personality types. But the first two are usually the bigger challenges. #Healthxph

The PGH Department of Medicine has IM QUIPS - quality inprovement and patient safety committee. They have regular ward huddles. #healthxph
We don’t want to embarrass someone or apportion blame hence privately correcting. But this might mean that issues remain unseen and therefore not corrected at the systems level. #healthxph
T1. It’s also possible that the healthcare worker does not know where to bring his/her concern esp if the reporting processes are not discussed often or routinely evaluated. #healthxph
