Reciprocal Inhibition

Reciprocal Inhibition
You can decrease the frequency of any behavior through punishment, but why not give some thought to reciprocal inhibition?
Reciprocal inhibition is the process of defining the opposite of the undesirable behavior and reinforcing the positive instead.
Reciprocal inhibition can be useful for leaders in helping change behaviors aiming for high reliability.
For example, instead of punishing errors, reward quality.
In this Assignment you will identify where reciprocal inhibition might be used to improve patient outcomes in quality and patient safety. You will also recommend steps that will foster a culture of quality and recommend at least one strategy for overcoming the challenges of achieving a culture of high reliability.
To prepare:
Review this Week’s Learning Resources related to creating a culture of high reliability
The Assignment:
