THR’s Safety Action Learning tool (SALT)

Tony Keller, Director, Enterprise Data Management, and Faye Sheppard, Director of Risk Management, Texas Health Resources, review an internal application that automates error reporting and won both the CHIME Innovator of the Year and Most Wired Innovator of the Year awards. SALT has helped drive a culture shift from one of blame when submitting safety related incidents to one of education and opportunity. Integrated workflow allows rapid communication and the data analysis has created a powerful learning tool, helping to establish best practices across 13 hospitals.
