Enhancing patient safety using After Action Review
Learning from Patient Safety Incidents and sharing those learnings in an open and transparent way does not always come naturally to the Healthcare sector in the way that it does with some other industries such as the Airline industry. Yet there is a Learning Response Tool that leaves blame and hierarchy outside the door and enables real learnings to be gained in an inclusive and empowering way. After Action Review (AAR) is an evidence based, proven method of enhancing patient safety. It is a means to make continuous improvement part of everyone's job, starting immediately. Utilising the power of AARs will change the way that you and your teams think, act and learn together from lived experience. Following the introduction of the Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF) to the NHS, this could be one of the most valuable 30 minutes of the whole show!
