S <\/strong>\u2013 Speak Up for Safety<\/p>\n T<\/strong> \u2013 Think Critically<\/p>\n R<\/strong> \u2013 Reliably Communicate<\/p>\n O<\/strong> \u2013 On Task<\/p>\n N<\/strong> \u2013 No Harm<\/p>\n G<\/strong> \u2013 Got Your Back<\/p>\n The sixth and final safety behavior \u2013 Got Your Back<\/strong> \u2013 helps us catch errors that we are all at risk of making by emphasizing our obligation to look out for each other.<\/p>\n Think of this as \u201cI\u2019ll look out for you and you look out for me.\u201d<\/p>\n What should we do? <\/strong>Look out for one another to catch each other\u2019s mistakes while building a greater sense of accountability for our actions.<\/p>\n Why should we do this?<\/strong><\/p>\n How can we work towards achieving this goal?<\/strong><\/p>\n There are two error-prevention tools for this safety behavior:<\/p>\n Cross check<\/strong> means that we look out for one another and are not afraid to ask questions if we think someone has made an error. The most important part of these steps is to be willing to be checked, which establishes a more collegial environment where we are not so sensitive to input or criticism.<\/p>\n The concept of Got Your Back is that two heads are better than one. Picture yourself at your favorite amusement park:<\/p>\n Don\u2019t forget to say \u201cThanks for the crosscheck!\u201d<\/p>\n Coach<\/strong>: Do not forget to coach each other!<\/p>\n Think five-to-one feedback: Encourage safe and productive behaviors five times as often as you correct an unsafe and unproductive behavior.<\/p>\n This is simply a guideline, not an exact formula. Encourage and recognize when others are doing the right thing like following policy or taking an extra moment to focus on the task at hand. This recognition will create a safe space or relationship that will make correcting an unproductive or unsafe behavior an easier conversation.<\/p>\n Cooper University Health Care is One Team.
