High reliability organizations operate in high-hazard domains with consistently safe conditions. Through individual interviews, investigators determined that staff perceptions of patient safety largely matched their conceptual model of a high reliability health care organization and found two additional characteristics: teamwork and systems approaches to improvement. The authors suggest their model of high reliability organizations can be used to assess organizational reliability.
