Its possible to have high quality delivery of incorrect patient treatment - but the difference here seems to be that Berwick is focused on patient safety. Its always been true that high performing projects tend to be the safest - but maybe Berwick is proving the opposite is true - go about the project withsafe and concientious manner and you will get a high performance output? If this is the case (and I havent seen all the facts, and I wont hear the interview as Im in the UK) then this has implications for your thread on Construction Safety. Go about making construction projects as safe as you can and maybe, by default because youve covered all the bases, you will get a high performing AND safe project. Thought provoking - thank you for bringing such an unusual thread to my attention! Keep up the great work. Hal,
