IMPLEMENTATION OF QUALITY
STANDARDSAND BUILDING SAFE
HOSPITAL
It is a continuous improvement process
It does not happen overnight
Every effort and every passing day brings improvement and innovations
Safety culture needs to be built and inculcated
Top management involvement in safety initiatives is a must
Manage through committees
Encourage reporting and learning from mistakes- Avoid blame and shame
Accreditation acts as a good reminder and a guide towards a formal safety
program
With every assessment, improvement and culture change will be evidenced
Perseverance is the key

THE SOLEBREAD WINNER OF THE FAMILY,
HE IS THE FATHER OF A SMALL KID,

HUSBAND OF A YOUNG LADY,
AND IS NOW YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

IMAGINE YOUR OWN THERE
TAKE CARE OF HIM LIKE YOUR BROTHER
