  3. Team Objectives • Create an algorithm that provides: – a structured process to guide managers through the evaluation of an event or near miss; – an outline for conducting an investigation of an event by posing critical questions; – a decision tree for identifying system failures and human errors; and – a tool for assessing accountability (remedial, punitive, etc.) for those involved in an event. • Ensure that key UPMC policies support the Just Culture philosophy. 3

  4. Our Duties • Duty to produce an outcome – Applies when an individual knows the desired outcome and should be able to produce it (e.g. the safe removal of an appendix or urinary catheter) • Duty to follow a procedural rule – Applies when an individual knows the proper procedure and it is possible to follow the rule • Duty to avoid causing unjustifiable risk or harm – Breach of this duty occurs when an individual intentionally harms the patient or acts recklessly Reference: California Hospital Patient Safety Authority, (2010) Accessed January 20, 2011 @ http://www.chso.org/just/index.asp 4

  5. UPMC Just Culture Algorithm: Key Questions • Four key questions guide investigation of an event: – Were the actions as intended? – Does there appear to be evidence of ill health or substance abuse? – Did the individual depart from agreed protocols and/or safe procedures? – Would another individual coming from the same professional group (within or outside UPMC), possessing comparable qualifications and experience, behave in the same way in similar circumstances? 5
