Engagement to solve problems creates High Reliability Organizing; withdrawal from the situation toward structure (rules and principles) or authority may be an anxiety response to uncertainty and threat.
Preoccupation with failure from my experience.
Further comments on preoccupation with failure in operational terms.
"Reluctance to simplify" in operational terms from my experience.
"Deference to expertise" from my operational experience.
Enactment, the process of engaging the situation and changing circumstances, is the basis for High Reliability Organizing.
"Sensitivity to operations" in operational terms from my experience.
Before I had heard of HRO, Dr. Ron Perkin and I created one in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit
With the intent to give better service to referring Emergency Departments, we created a High Reliability Critical Care Transport Service
The application of 1970s EMS to a troubled pediatric subacute care facility also created an HRO. This program was presented at a safety culture conference for NASA.
