2025 OR Manager Webinar: On the Road to High Reliability in Your Perioperative Suite

A High-Reliability Organization (HRO) is an organization that experiences fewer accidents or events of harm than otherwise anticipated, despite operating in a complicated and risky environment. Many healthcare organizations aspire to become HROs.

Periop teams play an essential role in advocating and implementing the HRO agenda. Applying HRO principles to daily functions in the operating room is a way to safeguard patient safety, even during moments of considerable change or disruption in the surgical suite.

This session offers a blueprint for periop staff desiring to integrate high reliability principles into their workflows. Our clinical nursing experts will review each of the five foundational principles of HROs. They’ll provide strategies and examples as to how each principle can be applied within the OR to impact care in a positive way.

Learning Objectives:

• List the five principles of High-Reliability Organizations (HROs).
• Discuss three ways HROs should be preoccupied with failure.
• Summarize how deference to expertise can impact a time-out.
