September 22, 2025: National Action Alliance for Patient and Workforce Safety Webinar: Safety Best Practices of High Performing Healthcare Systems Related to Safety Culture, Leadership and Governance

https://events.gcc.teams.microsoft.com/event/9f669881-2006-41f9-89a7-006bb320b18e@d58addea-5053-4a80-8499-ba4d944910df The National Action Alliance for Patient and Workforce Safety (NAA) recently reviewed high-performing healthcare systems to identify strategies and practices that advance safer care. This work supports the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Patient Safety Structural Measure and the National Action Plan for Patient Safety, emphasizing culture, leadership, and governance as foundations of safe care. The NAA studied three exemplar systems—St. Luke’s University Health Network (PA), Houston Methodist (TX), and the Mayo Clinic (MN, WI)—through onsite visits. These visits revealed common themes and approaches tied to safety culture, leadership, and governance. The NAA distilled the findings into the Best Practices to Strengthen Safety Culture, Leadership, and Governance Change Package, a practical guide with strategies organizations can apply to drive improvements. The Change Package will launch later this month, alongside a webinar on Monday, September 22, 12–1 p.m. ET. Register for the webinar here and plan to visit the NAA website to download the change package coming soon. https://www.ahrq.gov/action-alliance/index.html
