One of the guiding principles of high reliability organizations, or HROs, is deference to expertise. This means that there are mechanisms
in place to identify the individuals with the most relevant expertise in any given situation. And with this expertise, comes the authority for decision-making. The input and decisions of those with the most knowledge, skill level, and expertise takes priority over rank and/or seniority.
In order to mitigate errors, reduce undesired variability, and identify improvement opportunities, the Military Health System has embraced its High Reliability Organization Guiding Principles by assembling a set of evidence-based strategies into a document called the Leadership Engagement Toolkit. One specific strategy that can immediately improve the safety within your organization is the Safety Leadership
Rounds, also known as WalkRounds™. A Safety Leadership Round is a practice where, on at least a weekly basis, leaders visit a department and have informal conversations with staff members in regards to safety issues.
We encourage you to consider how you can use this practice in your organization.
