Featured Event
  • Mindfulness: The Paradox in Managing Uncertainty

  • Date: Oct 28, 2010
  • Time: 8:00 AM to 12:00 AM
  • Two Day Conference

    Thursday, October 28, 2010 - Friday, October 29, 2010, 11:15 AM CT
    University of Kansas HealthPartners & The University of Kansas School of Nursing co-sponsoring event 
    Overview
    Non-routine work is the norm for many healthcare professionals as well as first responders involved in emergency and disaster management. Since non-routine work calls for rapid decision-making where information is limited and outcomes uncertain, it is extremely challenging mentally. While it might seem paradoxical, there is a proven, proactive technique to manage the unexpected. It is called mindfulness.
    Mindfulness is a process first identified in high-reliability organizations (HROs). HROs have nearly error-free operations in extremely trying environments. Examples include aircraft carrier flight decks, nuclear power plants and air traffic control. Using mindfulness, these HROs have created a safety culture. While creating a safety culture is an important and challenging goal for all organizations, it is especially true for those organizations where interdependence and non-routine work are required.
