Abstract

An informal conversation with Dr. Tejal Gandhi and Dr. Jeffrey Brady about their work as co-chairs of the National Steering Committee for Patient Safety and how the committee’s new action plan, Safer Together: A National Action Plan to Advance Patient Safety, aims to change the patient safety landscape. The plan, released September 14, focuses on four foundational areas: culture, leadership, and governance; patient and family engagement; workforce safety; and learning systems.
