Patient Safety

The journey to zero harm moves at a similar pace. Slowly and steadily we’re working with you to improve patient safety, marching toward the day when health care is viewed as a high-reliability industry.

We’ve learned a lot along the way, and put those lessons into practice. Together with providers like you, we constantly study emerging patient safety issues – and roll out evidence-based methods to solve them.

We encourage you to explore our collection of best practices, reference materials and other resources. Take advantage of our award-winning Speak Up program, which has carried our patient safety message to more than 40 countries.
