Shared Voices: A Framework for Patient and Employee Safety in Healthcare

In her Amazon and Forbes Books best seller "Shared Voices," author and entrepreneur Heidi Raines shows how to systematically ensure the safety of patients and staff at healthcare facilities. Most medical errors occur because of flawed systems, not reckless practitioners, and systems can learn from errors. A just culture of care that protects everyone is possible through a framework of near-miss and incident reporting, equitable follow-up, analysis, and learning.

If you’re a healthcare leader who cares deeply about your staff and patients, put this book on your required reading list. Shared Voices succinctly reviews the relevant research on improving patient and employee safety in healthcare and places it at the heart of every proactive, future-forward healthcare organization.
Rebekah E. Gee, MD, MPH, FACOG
American physician and public health policy expert
I was expecting lots of data and statistics and although Raines used them to make an impact on the reader as to the depth of the issue, I never felt overwhelmed by the numbers. Rather, I felt educated to the size of the issue, the way other industries addressed similar issues, and how we can all impact positive change in healthcare. Raines spelled it out clearly and in a manner that's easy to digest, understand and execute.

This book will surely be an invaluable, trusted resource for the next generation of healthcare leaders.
Thomas J. Stranova, ScD, MHA
Clinical Associate Professor, Tulane University
Raines has a very good work in this book. Logistical systems in general are bone dry which is a huge issue when it comes to healthcare. That's doubly hard when balancing the usually hanging by a thread work culture found in healthcare as well as handling patients.

GoodReads Reviewer
I got this book because I was looking for a way to understand how to improve reporting at my hospital. "Shared Voices" seemed like it would be able to provide me with some insights about a potential solution to the challenge of underreporting of events and it was even better than I was expecting. It really helped me better understand the barriers that prevent effective incident reporting and what deters healthcare workers to report unsafe conditions and near misses. Looking forward to incorporating the author's recommended strategies into our safety program.
