Webinar: Making Safety a Core Value: Building the Foundation

https://www.ahrq.gov/action-alliance/index.html The National Action Alliance for Patient and Workforce Safety, a collective effort of federal agencies and private partners, aims to improve the safety of patients and the healthcare workforce to catalyze change by applying known harm reduction strategies and sharing best practices and lessons learned. The National Action Alliance envisions a future with safe care everywhere and zero preventable harm for all. On Jan. 27, AHRQ’s National Action Alliance staff hosted “Making Safety a Core Value: Building the Foundation,” the first webinar in a series spotlighting the findings from the Best Practices to Strengthen Safety Culture, Leadership and Governance report and change package. Moderated by Martin J. Hatlie, J.D., of Patients for Patient Safety U.S., the event featured real-world insights from three leading healthcare systems on how they operationalize safety as a true organizational core value. This topic aligns with its mission to pursue a total systems approach to improving safety that aligns with the first element of the National Action Plan to Advance Patient Safety’s four foundational elements of safety: culture, leadership and governance; patient and family engagement; workforce safety; and learning health system development.
