Understanding the processes by which patient safety experts impact patient safety goals and culture at the Great Ormond Street Hospital

该建议的博士研究生将专注于理解GOSH更广泛的战略倡议的一部分，以在整个组织中嵌入患者安全文化。这项广泛的倡议有四个组成部分。安全领导的目的是定义安全目标、标准、治理系统和组织内各个层面的目标，并使GOSH成为更大的患者安全系统中的领导者。安全专业化旨在定义患者安全的角色和责任，并在组织中创建和嵌入专门的患者安全专家，他们可以支持领导者，管理人员和员工将安全纳入其工作中。参与包括在安全举措中优先考虑患者的意见、选择和授权。安全文化包括创造心理上的安全，这需要真正的学习，从而导致更安全的系统。拟议的博士研究生将明确关注安全的专业化，特别关注患者安全专家嵌入组织的过程。学生的论文工作将解决研究问题：什么是专门的患者安全专家可以推进患者安全目标的过程，并帮助建立患者安全文化？

The broad initiative has four components. Safety leadership aims to define safety goals, standards,governance systems, and targets across levels within the organization, and to establish GOSH as a leader in the larger system on patient safety.Professionalization of safety aims to define roles and responsibilities for patient safety, and to create and embed dedicated patient safetyexperts in the organization who can support leaders, managers and staff in embedding safety in their work. Involvement involves prioritizingpatient voice, choice, and empowerment in safety initiatives. Safety culture involves creating the psychological safety needed to have truelearning that leads to safer systems.The proposed doctoral studentship will focus explicitly on the professionalization of safety, with a specific focus on processes by which patientsafety experts are embedded in the organization. The student's dissertation work will address the research question: what is the process bywhich dedicated patient safety experts can advance patient safety goals, and help establish a patient safety culture?
