Summary
A Patient Safety Huddle is a brief multidisciplinary daily meeting held to discuss threats to patient safety and actions to mitigate risk. This evaluation of The Huddle Up for Safer Healthcare (HUSH) project in BMC Health Services Research aims to assess the impact on teamwork and safety culture of the project, which implemented PSHs in 92 wards at five hospitals, across three NHS Trusts. This paper also seeks to add to the evidence-base around huddles as a mechanism for improving safety.

The authors found that:
- PSHs are feasible and effective for improving teamwork and safety culture, especially for nurses.
- PSH fidelity criteria may need adjusting to include factors deemed most useful by frontline staff.
- future work should examine inter-disciplinary and role-based differences in outcomes.
