About this book

High Reliability Organizations: A Healthcare Handbook for Patient Safety & Quality gives nurses and other healthcare professionals the tools to establish an error detection and prevention system. This third edition by Cynthia A. Oster and Jane S. Braaten was published by Sigma Theta Tau International in 2025 as a 530-page paperback.

The 27 chapters are arranged in eight parts, five of them built around high reliability concepts such as preoccupation with failure, reluctance to simplify, and commitment to resilience. Chapters address failure mode and effects analysis, close calls and near misses, root cause analysis, and tiered safety huddles. Later parts apply high reliability to ambulatory care, acute stroke treatment, and performance during a pandemic.
