Quality and the health system: becoming a high reliability organization.

Gaw M, Rosinia F, Diller T. Anesthesiol Clin. 2018;36:217-226.

The high reliability organization concept that guides safety in high-risk industries has yet to be universally employed in health care. This review discusses core concepts present in a high reliability organization and suggests these ideas still need to be implemented throughout the health care system at the organizational and team levels.
