The life of every patient, family, staff and volunteer at King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre is precious and there is no greater responsibility than keeping them safe from harm. While we perform above international benchmarks for safety, we believe the only acceptable standard for harm is zero. On 1 November 2017 KFSH&RC committed to a goal of zero harm to not only strengthen our leadership role and reputation but set a new standard of excellence.
Becoming a high reliability organization (HRO) and achieving zero harm is not a project. It is not a program, it is a journey. As a leader, you play an important role in our success each and every day in preventing harm and helping us to consistently perform to the highest standard. Below you will find some tools and information to help support you in leading your team to zero harm. As a champion, we are counting on you to embrace the process and support all of your colleagues on this journey.
