title: Can your nurses stop a surgeon?
abstract: With an "audacious" attitude, leaders at Advocate Health Care have set out to create a culture of safety that permeates every level of the organization. The initiative, inspired by work at Sentara Healthcare, gives all employees the power to stop any action they think might harm a patient or co-worker. More importantly, it creates a work environment in which critical thinking is as routine as breathing.
