What is Acting?

The Acting component of People-Based Patient Safety® teaches employees how to act safe by monitoring their actions to avoid mistakes and protect their patients. It is the whys' and whats' of the types of actions we all take. Learn ways we can control our behavior-whether our actions are safe or at risk-with personal choice and a simple universal check list to reduce reliance on memory. Dr. Geller outlines a five-step approach to safe action, based on the letters from the word "start."

  • Stop to focus attention

  • Think about the task at hand

  • Act carefully

  • Review the situation

  • Track the results.
