"My personal life experiences of significant loss and pain, and the gift I have received from learning from thousands of healthcare leaders and care providers over the last 24 years, have inspired me to create Reliability 4 Life. I learned a lesson that I could only wish for all to learn, human error is system-caused, safety is dynamic and requires us to actively manage for it to emerge, reliability too! I find this empowering. Yes, that means we have the power to create safety and high reliability in our systems. I envision a world where no one suffers the consequences from preventable harm events."
