Building a High-Reliability Organization: A Toolkit for Success, Second Edition
Building a High-Reliability Organization: A Toolkit for Success, Second Edition is centered around improving hospital processes for patient safety and quality care through high-reliability practices. Authors Gary L. Sculli, MSN, ATP, Douglas E. Paull, MD, FACS, FCCP, CHSE, and David Sine, CSP, ARM, CPHRM, DrBE, look at the role leadership played in transforming their facilities into high-reliability organizations (HRO). By implementing top-down processes that translate throughout the organization, leaders can create environments that foster high reliability, patient safety, and care.
The book’s second edition provides methodology intended to improve processes and standardization across organizations. Through the use of checklists, the authors demonstrate how situational awareness and structure can be created, leading to the HRO goal of preventing adverse events and errors. Additionally, the second edition includes significant new information about Just Culture, much of it based on the national Just Culture program that author Gary Sculli started in 2016.

- Possess a clear understanding of what constitutes high-reliability healthcare
