Topic Overview:

Knowing current worker safety needs in the healthcare community and knowing our desired high-reliability culture, culture change is necessary to fill the worker safety needs and achieve high-reliability outcomes. Within this necessary culture change, the pursuit of ‘winning hearts and minds’ is often referenced. However, a clearly defined road map for achieving this culture change – how to win hearts and minds – is needed. To determine this process, the origins of ‘winning hearts and minds’ can be referenced from military operations from World War I to present, methodical and procedural operations to gain the support and commitment of indigenous populations when their very lives were at stake. Knowing this, if these counterinsurgency operations have been successful in winning hearts and minds to pursue peace during war under the threat of an insurgency, they can be repurposed to achieve safety in a healthcare organization when safety and jobs are at stake. This presentation covers complete research and successful case studies of ‘winning hearts and minds’ to achieve a high-reliability safety culture.
 
Objectives:
1.   Identify healthcare worker safety needs and desired high-reliability outcomes.
2.    Identify the theoretical underpinnings and science behind culture change and
counterinsurgency.
3.    Identify counterinsurgency methods used to ‘win hearts and minds.’
