Culture of Safety Taking Shape Across AriaKick-off event, Safety Champions and blog category unveiled

Creating a permanent shift in an organization’s culture takes vision, leadership, dedication and time. More than a year ago, Aria Health recognized the importance of instituting a true culture of safety to make us one of the safest places for our patients, visitors and employees. The goal ultimately is to provide safe, quality care to every patient, every time.

Last spring, we engaged Healthcare Performance Improvement (HPI) to assist us in this endeavor. HPI spent approximately two months collecting data on serious events to develop a common cause analysis. In addition, they conducted interviews with a cross section of staff members who shared their perspectives about Aria’s culture of safety. The findings

77% of Aria employees who voted for a new Culture of Safety logo chose this design.
