NPP Safety Convening Workshop Synthesis Report 

For decades, the nation has focused energy on reducing the risks of injury from care. While much is known about what can be done to provide safe care and prevent healthcare-acquired conditions, and while some gains have been made, more work is needed to effectively implement improvements in the processes and, ultimately, outcomes of care. The Safety Workgroup of the National Priorities Partnership (NPP) convened a workshop to address this very gap and brainstorm strategies for reducing harm from care, with particular focus on the perioperative care environment and high-leverage action steps for NPP partners and other stakeholders to promote shared accountability and stimulate change.
