Exploring the impact of high reliability organization implementation on patient handling injury rates: a cross-sectional study
While this study did not observe a significant relationship between HRO implementation and PHI rate among direct care staff, the study findings highlight the importance of adequate staffing for injury prevention and the need to consider facility type and complexity in PHI prevention efforts. Future research is needed to explore the impact of HRO on worker safety, using more sophisticated measures to assess HRO programs and climate.
