Yet, how can we share these lessons with under-performing practices?<\/p> Informed by Safety II and realist-thinking, we conducted action research aiming to explore how this approach could foster improvement of hospital discharge processes.<\/p> We studied whether the working mechanisms that led to positive outcomes in well-performing departments can be effectively triggered in other, under-performing departments to achieve similar \u2018good\u2019 outcomes. We combined context factors and intended working mechanisms to help professionals redesign interventions that should lead to better performance in the discharge process.<\/p> We will share our findings and experiences with the attendees to offer practical strategies for implementing a Safety II approach during care improvement. Additionally, we will present our findings on the complex process of hospital discharge.<\/p> By the end of this session, participants will be able to:<\/p> Ad van Velzen<\/strong><\/a> UMC Utrecht; Netherlands<\/p> Bas de Vries<\/strong><\/a> UMC Utrecht; Netherlands<\/p>
