“…The end result reported here is a significant improvement in frontline caregiver assessments of patient safety, and a narrowing of the apparent disconnect between RN and nurse managers/charge nurses. The spread and adoption of WalkRounds worldwide (Budrevics and O'Neill 2005; Verschoor et al 2007) (http://www.npsa.nhs.uk/sevensteps) suggests that the process meets a need not yet met, which is eliciting caregiver concerns to identify local hazards within a framework that allows for the removal of barriers that impede actionable steps to make improvements. Assessing safety climate with the validated SAQ , affords leadership and frontline caregiver alike, the ability to empirically identify specific care areas that are struggling.…”

Objective. To evaluate the impact of rigorous WalkRounds on frontline caregiver assessments of safety climate, and to clarify the steps and implementation of rigorous WalkRounds. Data Sources/Study Setting. Primary outcome variables were baseline and post WalkRounds safety climate scores from the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ). Secondary outcomes were safety issues elicited through WalkRounds. Study period was August 2002 to April 2005; seven hospitals in Massachusetts agreed to participate; and the project was implemented in all patient care areas. Study Design. Prospective study of the impact of rigorously applied WalkRounds on frontline caregivers assessments of safety climate in their patient care area. WalkRounds were conducted weekly and according to the seven-step WalkRounds Guide. The SAQ was administered at baseline and approximately 18 months post-WalkRounds implementation to all caregivers in patient care areas. Results. Two of seven hospitals complied with the rigorous WalkRounds approach; hospital A was an academic teaching center and hospital B a community teaching hospital. Of 21 patient care areas, SAQ surveys were received from 62 percent of respondents at baseline and 60 percent post WalkRounds. At baseline, 10 of 21 care areas (48 percent) had safety climate scores below 60 percent, whereas post-WalkRounds three care areas (14 percent) had safety climate scores below 60 percent without improving by 10 points or more. Safety climate scale scores in hospital A were 62 percent at baseline and 77 percent post-WalkRounds (t 5 2.67, p 5 .03), and in hospital B were 46 percent at baseline and 56 percent post WalkRounds (t 5 2.06, p 5 .06). Main safety issues by category were equipment/facility r Health Research and Educational Trust

“…The review resulted in a reduction to turnaround compounding and delivery times of 20 minutes. Verschoor (2007) The aim of this section was to consider stress, using workload as a proxy, in the context of a Paediatric Hospital Pharmacy dispensing final checking step and the impact, if any, that this may have had on the efficiency, safety and professionalism of dispensary operatives that is both pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, in the context of a paediatric hospital pharmacy in England. Jee, Schafheutle et al (2016) 57 explored the process of professional socialization in pharmacy trainees during their pre-registration training.…”
