Highly reliable care requires not only employing reliable processes, but also a creating a system for process management that ensures that high reliability principles are adhered to across the system. This can be accomplished through daily huddles and other process interventions, as well as through implementation of models that use timely data and collective knowledge of the patient and the system to predict risk. In this session, participants will learn how theory of management by prediction can be applied to support organizational evolution toward high reliability and align improvement in patient flow, patient safety, and patient experience.

At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
  • Summarize the principles of managing by prediction
  • Apply the theory of management by prediction to accelerate transformation in safety and flow
  • Define infrastructural and operational requirement to manage by prediction
  • Describe the role of staff in huddles
