Becker's Healthcare highlights the key takeaways from the 9/17 White House #patientsafety forum. It's exciting to see greater collaboration among federal agencies, efforts by 22 organizations to promote a "whole-of-society approach" to healthcare safety, and commitments from 16 health systems to improve safety. These are great first steps toward eliminating harms in health care, but making care safer for patients and providers will require so much more. Let's get all healthcare systems to commit to making safety their top priority. Patients, families, and the healthcare workforce deserve nothing less. https://hubs.li/Q02QrQ-N0 Ascension Baylor Scott & White Health Beth Israel Lahey Health Braden Health CommonSpirit Health Highmark Health MedStar Health Mercy Health Nemours Novant Health Prisma Health Sanford Health SSM Health Trinity Health University of California Health (Oakland, Calif.)
