What is your role in patient safety?
As a medical practice executive, you may see patient safety as falling outside the scope of your responsibility. You may look to physicians, nurses and other clinical staff to provide the leadership--and the expertise--to ensure safe care. But a close how and why patient injuries occur in health care organizations makes it clear that executives play a key role in reducing the frequency and severity of those injuries.
