Patient Safety

Safe patient care is at the forefront of everything we do at UCLA Health, with our ultimate goal to eliminate preventable patient harm that potentially might occur during care. To accomplish this goal, we:

Report, analyze and prevent events that could lead to adverse outcomes. All employees of UCLA Health are empowered to report high-risk events and “near misses” through a computerized Event Reporting system. Automated clinical “triggers” also help to pinpoint potential areas of concern. Reports are reviewed and analyzed by patient-safety specialists to identify improvement priorities and opportunities to reduce risk to patients.

Continuously improve care-delivery processes to prevent system failures that may occur as a result of human error, miscommunication, technology or equipment failures and environmental hazards. We also believe that fostering an organizational “Just Culture” that recognizes human fallibility and system contributions to error creates a sense of responsibility among staff to improve workplace systems and healthcare delivery to patients and encourages quality and safety. In addition, we ask patients and families to be part of our patient-safety team. Their involvement, through sharing pertinent information and asking questions to better understand treatment and expectations of care, is essential to help ensure the best and safest care.

For this reason, members of the Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital at UCLA staff are prohibited by law from releasing patient information to family or others without the explicit authorization of the patient.
