Which of these is a behavior providers should adopt to improve patient safety?
Follow written safety protocols, even if they slow you down
Safety protocols are in place for a reason, and you should follow them, even if they slow you down. Sometimes there will be a problem with a policy or procedure, in which case you should report it, rather than inventing a "workaround" (a method to circumvent a problem without fixing it). Likewise, you should speak up if you believe any colleague — supervisors included — is threatening patient safety. Part of patient-centered care is respecting patient autonomy, even if it means considering different treatment approaches than what you would normally consider "best practice."
