Please join the National Action Alliance for Patient and Workforce Safety for an engaging webinar series spotlighting the findings from the Best Practices to Strengthen Safety Culture, Leadership, and Governance report and change package. This evidence-informed change management tool was developed by examining high-performing healthcare systems using publicly available safety and patient experience data. The resulting strategies, change concepts, and practical actions are designed to help any healthcare organization strengthen its safety culture, enhance leadership engagement, and optimize governance structures.  

Patient Safety Awareness Week (PSAW) is a time to recognize progress, celebrate achievements, and renew our commitment to safer care for patients and families.

Join us in highlighting teamwork, engaging in meaningful conversations about safety, and planning next steps to strengthen care delivery.
