The Reliability Culture Implementation Guide combines the five principles of high reliability organizations (HROs) with elements of safety culture. The Reliability Culture Implementation Guide was created to provide resources for healthcare organizations, with an emphasis on safety culture, regardless of where they are in their high reliability journey. This guide is not a step-by-step
process, but rather a guide that helps facilities after completing an initial assessment.
