Inside Looking Up: Inspiring Innovative Escalation in Healthcare Risk & Safety Ecosystems

by Jeffrey F. Driver (Editor), Renee Bernard (Editor), Lorri Zipperer (Editor)

The biggest risk you’ll ever take is not taking the risk to innovate. The field of risk management is brimming with often-untapped potential to reenergize health systems; to generate actionable risk intelligence; to enable faster adaptation of targeted solutions; to mitigate loss and create value; and to reduce harm and improve patient safety and engagement. So it’s time to abandon the status quo. It’s time to take a new path to escalate innovation in our risk and safety ecosystems. Inside Looking Up champions innovation as the catalyst to transforming the healthcare industry – and risk management in particular – into a proactive, predictive, and dynamic force. It explores how innovation in risk management strategies can drive change and improve healthcare systems, organizations, and even outcomes. By comparing the landscape of healthcare to the inspirational film Field of Dreams, Inside Looking Up discusses who can be an innovator, why it matters, and offers a powerful example of how listening to and acting on the call for change can achieve greater heights of success than ever imagined. “Using the power of metaphor, the book reveals how innovation spurred the evolution of The Risk Authority Stanford as a way to demonstrate how every risk manager can see the situations and tools in their own environments as opportunities to stimulate systemic change. In reality, it has something for everyone in healthcare. I couldn’t put it down!”—Geri Amori, PhD, Vice President of Academic Affairs, Coverys.
