Cropper DP, Harb NH, Said PA, Lemke JH, Shammas NW. J Healthc Risk Manag. 2018;37:17-24.

This study describes the implementation of a bundle of high-reliability interventions in a health system. With leadership engagement, the health system initiated team training, incident reporting, and root cause analysis. The rate of serious safety events declined following implementation of these evidence-based practices.
