What is Thinking?
Learn about the inner self — how we think, our self talk — and how it can help us stay focused or how it can cause unintentional risk for patients. Thinking discusses monitoring, controlling thoughts to change behavior, and remaining mindful in the complex healthcare environment.The Thinking component of People-Based Patient Safety® offers employees simple, effective techniques to use their self-talk to control behavior and to think twice before acting in a way that could cause harm.
